Russia Launches a Major Aerial Attack on Kyiv Hours Before High-level Talks on Support for Ukraine

5 weeks ago Russia has launched one of its largest aerial assaults on Ukraine in months, targeting Kyiv overnight into Monday. Ukrainian officials report two deaths and 15 injuries, including a child. The escalation came hours before the U.K. and Germany led a NATO meeting on military support for Ukraine, including advanced air defense systems like Patriots. The British defense chief is expected to urge Ukraine’s Western partners at the meeting to launch a “50-day drive” to get Kyiv the weapons it needs to fight Russia’s bigger army and force Russian President Vladimir Putin to the negotiating table, according to a statement by the U.K. government.
