In a bold move reminiscent of assembling the Avengers, Ukraine is revamping its air defense lineup to protect its skies 🛡️✈️
After the "Coalition of the Willing" meet in Paris — a star-studded lineup including European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, and other European leaders — Zelenskyy says he’s pitched U.S. President Donald Trump a brand-new format for protecting Ukraine’s airspace.
Trump also urged European countries to cut off Russian oil imports, arguing that every barrel bankrolls the conflict 🔥🛢️
French President Emmanuel Macron then announced that 26 nations have officially offered to send troops for a potential ceasefire operation — no front-line deployments, but a show of support nonetheless 🤝🌍
Zelenskyy welcomed the pledge as a concrete step forward and pressed for a high-stakes meetup with Russian President Vladimir Putin — bilateral or trilateral — to seal the deal ☮️🤞
Meanwhile, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Maria Zakharova, slammed the recent U.S. approval of 3,350 air-launched Extended-Range Attack Munitions for Ukraine, arguing it contradicts Washington’s diplomatic overtures and could escalate the conflict 💥
From forging coalitions to weapons debates, Ukraine’s push to secure its skies and pursue peace is heating up. Stay tuned! 🌐
