Zelenskyy puts air defense atop NATO summit agenda

Original version ·

Ukraine is pitching a joint European anti-ballistic missile production project right before world leaders meet in Ankara.

Instead of endless discussions about abstract promises, Ukraine is bringing a very concrete blueprint to the upcoming NATO summit in Ankara.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that diplomatic talks leading into July are heavily focused on securing air defense systems and anti-ballistic missiles. But the real story isn't just asking for existing weapons from allied stockpiles. Ukraine is pushing for a joint European project to manufacture anti-ballistic missiles directly.

With European allies trying to scale up their own defense capacity, the pitch is straightforward: stop relying solely on external stockpiles and start producing advanced interceptors together in Europe.

Europe building its own anti-ballistic defense infrastructure used to sound like a distant decade-long fantasy, but reality has a way of speeding up timelines fast.
