In a notable shift, the U.S. military has resumed shipments of 155 millimeter artillery shells and GMLRS mobile rocket artillery missiles to Ukraine, just days after pausing some critical weapon deliveries.
Officials tied last week's pause to concerns over U.S. stockpiles, though details on shipment size and scope remain under wraps. It's still unclear if other key systems will rejoin the supply chain.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has intensified talks with U.S. counterparts to secure vital air defense support. President Trump has hinted he's weighing Patriot missile deliveries, but timing is uncertain.
Ukraine faced a record 728-drone assault overnight, highlighting the urgent need for robust defenses against swarms of drones and missiles. The surprising scale underscores how rapidly aerial threats are evolving on the battlefield.
Analysts say continued Western aid and biting sanctions targeting revenue streams for Russia's war effort are crucial next steps. As global citizens, we're watching closely to see how these dynamics reshape security in Europe and beyond.
