Ukraine Calls for More Air-Defense Help as Russian Barrages Continue

Ukraine called for more air-defense systems from the West to defend itself against Russian missile-and-drone attacks that have targeted its energy infrastructure in recent weeks, a senior Ukrainian official said Wednesday.

Andriy Yermak, the chief of Ukraine’s presidential staff, said he requested additional air defenses in calls with U.S. national security adviser Jake Sullivan and senior French and British officials.
