In response to a deadly Russian missile and drone barrage on Ukrainian territory, Ukraine deployed over 400 drones targeting Moscow and Russia's Belgorod region. This large-scale counterattack underscores the escalating conflict intensity. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated the urgent need for more robust Western air defence systems to protect against continued assaults. He specifically urged the United States to grant licenses to produce Patriot missile systems domestically.
The upcoming NATO summit is expected to prioritize discussions on Ukraine's ongoing defence requirements and the provision of military assistance.
