Coalition of the Willing Meets in Paris to Boost Ukraine Support

Ukrainian drone attacks on July 13 resulted in four fatalities and seven injuries in Russia, with the majority of casualties reported in the Moscow region, according to Russian authorities. Kyiv has increased the frequency of such strikes, citing retaliation against recent Russian artillery barrages that have intensified across the front lines. The incidents mark a notable escalation in cross‑border hostilities, underscoring the heightened tension between the two nations as the conflict enters its second year.

At the same time, a gathering of the “coalition of the willing”—a group of Ukraine’s principal allies—convened in Paris to coordinate diplomatic and military support for Kyiv. Participants discussed further assistance measures, including the provision of defensive weapons and economic aid, while reaffirming their commitment to Ukraine’s sovereignty. The meeting follows the latest wave of Ukrainian strikes, highlighting the broader international response to the ongoing conflict.
