France, UK Increase Missile Support for Ukraine Amid Coalition Meeting
European leaders including French President Emmanuel Macron, U.K. Prime Minister Andy Burnham, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz are set to co-chair a meeting of the 'Coalition of the Willing' aimed at boosting support for Ukraine following a recent Russian drone attack that killed civilians in Kryvyi Rih. France has pledged additional interceptor missiles to Kyiv, while the U.K. is allowing defense company MBDA to share classified information on SCALP missile components with Ukrainian assemblers. The meeting coincides with growing international pressure on Russia and efforts to weaken its war capabilities through coordinated military support for Ukraine. The discussions come amid heightened tensions after a deadly Russian strike, which has intensified calls from European leaders for stronger defense measures against Moscow's aggression.
