Kyiv Endures Fresh Strikes as Allies Weigh Next Steps

Reuters reports renewed Russian attacks on Kyiv that killed and injured civilians, prompting calls from President Volodymyr Zelensky for tougher sanctions and more air-defense support. Ukraine’s air force said it downed many incoming drones and missiles, but debris still caused damage in residential areas. Why it matters: sustained strikes keep pressure on Ukrainian air defenses ahead of winter and raise the stakes for Western resupply decisions. What to watch: additional Patriot and short-range systems, and whether EU/US sanctions packages tighten further. Reuters
