> Ukraine is demonstrating “remarkable innovation” by holding the front line while targeting Russia’s economy. Chatham House Associate Fellow Samantha de Bendern says Europe is taking increasingly consequential steps to support Kyiv, but warns they remain insufficient to address Ukraine’s fundamental vulnerability. Transfers of interceptor missiles and the prospect of domestic Storm Shadow/SCALP production mark significant shifts as US Patriot stocks tighten. Allies still debate whether to move beyond weapons deliveries and help protect Ukrainian airspace without risking direct NATO-Russia engagement.
