Allies to muster more air defence aid for Ukraine as battlefield momentum shifts
Western allies will meet in Paris to secure additional air‑defence commitments for Ukraine amid increasing Russian missile attacks. The coalition of the willing, comprising at least 25 leaders, will discuss expanding supplies of Patriot interceptors, the Franco‑Italian SAMP‑T system, and possible joint production of new defenses. Discussions will also cover sanctions on Russia’s shadow‑fleet oil shipments and the prospect of a multinational force for future exercises.
- ▪Ukraine is critically low on munitions needed to intercept high‑speed Russian ballistic missiles, leaving civilian areas vulnerable.
- ▪The Paris meeting will focus on anti‑ballistic‑missile cooperation, including sourcing more Patriot interceptors and advancing the SAMP‑T system.
- ▪Leaders will consider joint production efforts that give Ukraine a role in manufacturing air‑defence equipment.
- ▪The agenda includes measures to curb Russia’s revenue sources, such as targeting the shadow‑fleet used to ship oil, alongside upcoming EU sanctions.
