Ukraine is receiving renewed military support from Germany and the US just as Russia escalates its bombardment of Ukrainian cities. Following a series of unprecedented air strikes from Russia, US President Donald Trump announced the resumption of military aid to Ukraine, previously suspended due to Russian demands. This renewed support reflects a shift in policy among Ukraine's Western allies and signals an intent to bolster Ukraine's defense capabilities amidst record attacks. Ukraine's Air Force demonstrated significant defensive success against Russian strikes, maintaining essential operational readiness despite the intensity of the conflict.
Trump stated, "We're going to send some more weapons. We have to. They have to be able to defend themselves. They're getting hit very hard now."
Over the past week, Ukraine's Air Force neutralised 478 drones and two Iskander-K cruise missiles, reflecting a strong defensive capability despite ongoing strikes.
Observers reported that Russia launched a record number of air strikes against Ukraine, with the most significant being 741 attacks overnight, including a mix of kamikaze drones and missiles.
The US-made Patriot system remains Ukraine's only effective defense against ballistic missiles, emphasizing the importance of continued military support amid rising Russian aggression.
