French president Emmanuel Macron has promised announcements on Monday, including some on bilateral cooperation that could involve joint arms production. (EPA Images pic) PARIS : Western allies will seek to secure more air-defence commitments for Ukraine when they meet in Paris on Monday, as shortages have left it increasingly exposed to Russian ballistic missiles, despite recent shifts in momentum on the battlefield Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky will be joined by at least 25 leaders for a meeting of the Coalition of the Willing, part of broader efforts that include putting together a common position that could be taken to Russia, and security guarantees to support any eventual peace deal. Russia launched missile and drone attacks on Ukraine on July 11, killing eight people and wounding dozens more, officials said, as Zelensky called for efforts to provide Kyiv with weapons faster. Coalition seeks to help Ukraine down ballistic missiles “The ballistic missiles launched by (Russian President) Vladimir Putin are deliberately targeting civilian zones and June was one of the most murderous (months) since the start of the war,” foreign minister Jean-Noel Barrot said in an interview with Ouest-France newspaper on Sunday.
Furthermore, Monday’s meeting comes days after a Nato summit that aimed to show transatlantic unity and long-term support for Ukraine. The EU is also set to adopt a 21st package of sanctions on Russia next week. As Russia’s strikes have increased, Kyiv has also intensified drone attacks inside Russia, targeting oil facilities and weapons production to undermine Moscow’s economic ability to press on with its war.
In addition, Briefing reporters, a French presidency official said the focus would be anti-ballistic-missile cooperation ranging from sourcing more US Patriot interceptors and advancing the deployment of the Franco-Italian SAMP-T air defence system to looking at how the European and Ukrainian defence industries can develop alternatives. One option under consideration was for different European nations to cooperate on a system that would complement SAMP-T and/or Patriot and give Ukraine a significant role in production. All of these pillars are intended to be tested continuously, to varying degrees, with all participants in order to guarantee their credibility,” the official said. “It’s not a question of conducting exercises in Ukraine.” REUTERS.
