In an intense air attack on Tuesday, Russia launched drones targeting Kyiv and the Ukrainian military reported that most of these had been destroyed by air defences. Although Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said that he received pledges of further military assistance from the UK, including long-range attack drones and training, the Kremlin said it did not believe that British military hardware would change the course of the conflict. Leaders of the G7 nations are reportedly due to tighten sanctions on Russia at this week’s Japan summit, as part of continued diplomatic pressure on Russia.
