Russian missiles, artillery and drones hammered targets in eastern and southern Ukraine, Ukraine’s General Staff said on Monday as global economic powers pledged to beef up Kyiv’s military capabilities with a focus on air defences. The Group of Seven promised to "meet Ukraine’s urgent requirements" after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy appealed to the virtual G7 meeting for modern tanks, artillery firepower and long-range weapons against Russia’s devastating invasion, which began almost 10 months ago.
