NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg said sending more air defense systems to Ukraine is a “top priority” as the alliance’s defense ministers gather in Brussels. Ukraine’s call for more military aid is on the agenda Wednesday as defense officials from nearly 50 countries also convene here, with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in attendance at both meetings.

The “malice and cruelty” of Russia’s recent escalation has only deepened allies’ commitment to supporting Ukraine, Austin told the broad group of officials.

Kyiv ramped up its push for more air defense systems after a barrage of Russian strikes and threats to retaliate for an explosion on the Kremlin’s prized bridge to Crimea.

  • Ukraine’s defense minister said an IRIS-T air defense system from Germany and four HIMARS launchers from the United States have arrived. The air defense system is the first of four that Germany is sending, and Chancellor Olaf Scholz said it could protect “an entire major city from Russian air attacks.”
  • External power was restored Wednesday to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in Ukraine, which had been relying on generators after losing all external power for the second time in days, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency. The U.N. nuclear watchdog is trying to establish a security zone at the site, Europe’s largest nuclear power plant, which Russian forces control.
  • Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan is set to meet with Putin in Kazakhstan on Thursday. The leaders are likely to discuss paths to piece in Ukraine, according to Kremlin spokesman Yuri Ushakov, Reuters reported….
