NATO pledges urgent air defense support for Ukraine as President Zelenskyy warns of a significant surge in Russian missile production.

This commitment follows a recent attack where Ukraine failed to intercept any Russian ballistic missiles, resulting in 17 fatalities. President Zelenskyy highlighted a drastic reduction in air defense missile supplies from Western allies in the first half of 2026, raising concerns about Ukraine's ability to defend against anticipated intensified Russian attacks on energy infrastructure during the upcoming winter.
