Ukraine war briefing: Don’t be weak, Zelenskyy tells allies, after Putin threats

Ukrainian drone attacks in Zaporizhzhia and Pryluky have caused widespread power outages and significant destruction of Russian warplanes worth $7 billion, while residents in the regions lost five lives and were injured. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged allies to avoid appearing weak against Russia after recent Ukrainian attacks, as the conflict continues with harsh consequences for civilians. Meanwhile, international support is being sought, including new defense systems under Germany's $400 million package and a minerals fund aimed at aiding Ukraine's economic recovery.
