Ukraine seeks Western aid as Russia upgrades Shahed drones

Ukraine is pressing Western allies for more air defense and weapons as Russian airstrikes intensify, partly due to upgraded Shahed drones that are harder to intercept. The Kremlin's technological improvements to the Iranian-designed drones increase their lethality and complicate Ukraine's defense. An additional UDCG meeting is scheduled tomorrow, with Dutch Defense Minister Yeşilgöz participating, signaling urgency.
