Ukraine Allies Vow Air Defense Boost

Ukraine Allies Vow Air Defense Boost

The leaders of Britain, France, and Germany vowed to 'scale up' Ukraine's air defenses in a London meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The commitment follows new Russian strikes near Chernobyl and an urgent need to combat powerful hypersonic missiles.

Zelensky expressed openness to freezing front lines as the 'quickest way' to halt the war, a proposal backed by Macron, Merz, and Starmer for direct talks with Putin.

This show of European unity aims to provide stronger military and economic support, including tighter sanctions on Russia, as US attention shifts.
