Leaders from nine European countries have agreed to build an integrated anti-ballistic missile coalition with Ukraine, as roughly 25 heads of state and government converged on Paris for a wider summit on the country's defences.
The French Presidency confirmed in a statement that Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom had joined Ukraine in the new pact, which is intended to strengthen protection against ballistic missile attacks across the continent.
