Defense Secretary Ben Wallace made an emergency trip to Washington yesterday for talks with his American counterpart after Russia unleashed explosive drones on Kyiv.
Almost a third of Ukraine’s power plants have been destroyed in the past week, President Zelensky said yesterday, warning his people of a harsh winter ahead as Moscow switched its war strategy to bombing the infrastructure.
Wallace and Lloyd Austin, the US defense secretary, discussed “our nations’ support for Ukraine,” said Brigadier General Patrick Ryder, a Pentagon spokesman. After the meeting, it was announced that the West would send more rockets to Ukraine to defend against Iranian drones launched by Russia.
