Zelenskyy Seeks Fresh Western Backing as Ukraine-Russia Drone War Intensifies
Zelenskyy is meeting Prime Minister Mark Carney with a focus on strengthening Ukraine’s air defenses and preparing for the coming winter. Kyiv says Russia’s aerial campaign is increasingly targeting energy infrastructure, raising concerns over the security of Ukraine’s power supply and civilians. At the same time, Ukraine has expanded its own long-
range drone strikes against targets inside Russia. Moscow says it intercepted hundreds of Ukrainian drones in overnight attacks, while Ukrainian officials report strikes on Russian military and energy infrastructure. The escalating drone war comes as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict remain stalled. Zelenskyy is pressing Canada and other Western allies for additional military assistance, arguing that stronger air defenses are essential to protect Ukraine through another difficult winter.
