Germany's government named Boris Pistorius as defence minister on Tuesday at a time of mounting pressure on Berlin from Western allies to allow Ukraine to use German-made tanks in the war with Russia.
Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu claims that all of the drones involved in the recent drone attack on Moscow were "destroyed". According to the ministry, eight drones were involved in the attack -- unprecedented since the beginning of the Kremlin's assault on Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asks NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg to help Kyiv "overcome the reluctance" of some member states to provide long-range weapons to Kyiv as it continues to repel Russia's invasion. Zelensky says the delays in supply are "time lost for peace and the lives of our soldiers."
France's Defence Minister suggests a substantial military investment in cyber, space, and submarine defence systems.
Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine's foreign minister, and Jens Stoltenberg, NATO's Secretary General, meet in Brussels at the NATO foreign ministers meeting. As Finland joins the military alliance, Ukraine is also pushing for eventual NATO membership, but Western diplomats say that remains a still distant prospect. IMAGES
