Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is set to present his country’s anti-ballistic missile programme at a meeting in Paris hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron, as part of a “coalition of the willing” to discuss the war [195006]. The gathering comes amid hopes that Ukraine’s recent military advances could push Russia toward negotiations [195006]. Separately, Russia has suspended shipping in the Sea of Azov after Ukrainian drones struck 90 vessels in less than one week [195006].
