Over 1,000 days of war, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned Kyiv’s Western allies of dire – potentially nuclear – consequences if they “escalate” the war by giving Ukraine the weapons it needs to defend itself.

Russia launched a record 188 drones into Ukraine Monday night, advancing its attacks at its fastest pace in two years, according to an assessment from the Institute for the Study of War. Now, NATO and Ukrainian officials are convening an urgent meeting.

Russia continues its relentless missile bombardment and drone attacks on Ukrainian cities. While Ukrainians have successfully intercepted many drones and cruise missiles, ballistic missiles still pose a significant threat to vital targets.
