Air defense likely to top Kyiv’s agenda Zelensky’s expected attendance comes as Ukrainian cities face repeated large-scale Russian aerial attacks involving missiles and drones. Kyiv is expected to use the summit to press G7 leaders for more interceptor missiles, particularly for Patriot systems capable of shooting down ballistic missiles. Ukraine has repeatedly warned that without stronger air defenses, Russia will continue to target major cities and critical infrastructure. Zelensky has also called for Europe to develop its own anti-ballistic missile capabilities, arguing that the continent needs a stronger shield against Russian missile threats.
