Ukraine and Nine Other Nations Form Coalition for European Ballistic Missile Defense

Ukraine and nine other countries have announced the formation of a coalition aimed at protecting Europe from ballistic missiles. This initiative leverages Ukraine's direct experience in combating Russian aggression. Western allies are also meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Paris to secure additional air-defense support, with a focus on anti-ballistic-missile cooperation and the development of alternative defense industries. Germany is reportedly funding 50,000 attack drones for Ukraine.
