Ukraine is pressing NATO allies for additional air defence systems after a series of large-scale Russian missile and drone attacks killed civilians, damaged infrastructure, and placed renewed pressure on the country's defensive capabilities. The appeal comes ahead of a key NATO summit, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is expected to push for stronger military support as Russia continues its aerial campaign.
The request follows some of the most intense attacks on Ukrainian cities in recent weeks. Ukrainian officials say the strikes underscore the urgent need for additional air defence systems capable of intercepting missiles and drones before they reach population centres.
