Ukraine is waiting for formation of a new government after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy dismisses the previous prime minister and selects a successor. Separate reporting says Ukraine and nine other countries are establishing a coalition focused on protecting against ballistic missiles. The coalition is described as an effort to coordinate defensive measures and improve readiness against ballistic missile threats. In the coverage, Zelenskiy’s role in picking a new prime minister is presented as part of the political transition that will follow the dismissal. While details about the coalition’s structure, membership beyond the nine other countries, and implementation steps are not specified in the available summaries, the common thread is the intent to build cooperative missile protection alongside the domestic government changes in Ukraine. The accounts align on both the leadership transition in Kyiv and the parallel regional initiative aimed at missile defense.
