Ukraine holds a meeting in Kyiv of its key European backers to seek urgent air-defence supplies and increased pressure on Russia, as Russian attacks intensify and civilian deaths rise. France 24 and Jowhar.com report the gathering convenes as casualties reach their worst levels since the early months of the invasion.
The talks are organized under the “Coalition of the Willing” and are jointly chaired by the leaders of Britain, France and Germany, according to all three sources. Kyiv Post adds that the meeting coincides with Ukraine’s Independence Day, framing it as part of a broader moment for national resilience.
While the main focus across outlets is air-defence resupply and diplomacy, Kyiv Post also highlights developments on the military side, saying Ukraine reports a sharp drop in Patriot interceptor deliveries and describes expanded Ukrainian strike efforts against Russian logistics and industrial sites. France 24 and Jowhar.com primarily emphasize the civilian impact and the push for more air-defence and stronger measures against Moscow, without detailing those specific strike targets or interceptor figures.
