The European Union is making an appeal to member states to provide interceptor missiles to Ukraine. This request comes in a context of growing urgency given the air defence challenges the country faces.
Moscow is exploiting the gaps in Ukraine's air defence stocks to intensify its attacks. Russian forces appear to be taking advantage of this vulnerability to increase military pressure on Ukrainian territory.
The intensification of Russian attacks occurs at a particularly critical moment, as the winter season approaches. This time of year brings adverse weather conditions that can further complicate the humanitarian and military situation on the ground.
