Hey everyone, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just dialled up US President Donald Trump for the second time in two days to push for more long-range missiles and air defence systems 🚀🛡️.
On another call, Zelenskyy urged French President Emmanuel Macron to boost missile supplies as Russia steps up attacks while global attention shifts to the Middle East and other hotspots 🌍.
Russia has intensified air strikes against Ukraine’s power grid—blaming those sites for supporting Kyiv’s military—and Zelenskyy says Moscow is taking advantage of the world’s distraction.
Meanwhile, Trump hinted he could warn Russia’s President Vladimir Putin that Ukraine might get Tomahawk cruise missiles if the fighting doesn’t ease, a move that could change the game ✈️.
The Kremlin fired back through spokesman Dmitry Peskov, warning any missile launches could be seen as nuclear threats, sending tensions even higher ⚠️.
With diplomacy stuck and both sides pointing fingers, Ukraine is racing to strengthen its defences. For tech-savvy, socially conscious young readers in South and Southeast Asia, this is a major update on global security vibes 👀.
