Ukraine war: "Coalition of the willing" wants to increase pressure on Russia
Construction of cruise missiles, measures against shadow fleet: The "coalition of the willing" wants to take tougher action against Russia and pledges further support to Ukraine.
Western leaders, including Germany's Friedrich Merz, France's Emmanuel Macron, and UK's Rishi Sunak, have reaffirmed their support for Ukraine in the face of ongoing Russian threats. They stated that Ukraine has the right to defend itself against Russian aggression and that their support will not be deterred by Russian threats. The leaders plan to increase military aid to Ukraine, prioritizing air defense and cooperation with Ukraine's defense industry.
The UK has approved a request from Ukrainian President Zelensky to build long-range cruise missiles using British "Storm Shadow" technology. Russia's Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskow criticized the move, saying it would escalate the conflict.
