Ukraine's allies convene in Kyiv as Zelenskyy seeks air defence boost

Is the war entering a new phase? Ukraine's allies convene in Kyiv as Zelenskyy seeks air defence boost Ukraine will host a meeting with its key European allies to discuss air defence and press for greater pressure on Moscow as Russia continues to escalate missile attacks. The "Coalition of the Willing" meeting in Kyiv on Monday will be jointly chaired by the leaders of the United Kingdom, France and Germany, with most leaders expected to join by video call and a small number of foreign dignitaries attending in person. European Council President Antonio Costa is also set to attend in person. Kyiv is expected to seek additional interceptor missiles from allies after weeks of Russian missile and drone attacks that have driven record numbers of the capital city's residents to metro stations and basements to seek shelter.
