Ukraine gets more military aid from Europe but Putin warns of consequences if Russian soil is hit

The Hindu  

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy received a second $1 billion promise of military aid in as many days on May 28 during a whirlwind tour of three European Union countries, while President Vladimir Putin warned that hitting Russian soil with Western-supplied weapons could set the war on a dangerous new path. He later traveled to Portugal, where he said it was important that Ukraine’s supporters don’t allow themselves to be misled by Russia and that “we don’t grow tired of the war.” The onslaught by the Kremlin's better-equipped forces that is unfolding in eastern and northeastern Ukraine as summer approaches has brought Ukraine its biggest military test since Russia’s full-scale invasion began in February 2022. partners a Patriot air defense system, which Mr. Zelenskyy sees as key in stopping Russia from hitting Ukraine's power grid and civilian areas, as well as military targets, with devastating glide bombs. Mr. Zelenskyy met with Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, and as well as the immediate money, he obtained a security agreement aimed at providing guarantees of military help until Ukraine joins NATO. Since Russia launched a spring offensive in the northeastern Kharkiv region, Mr. Zelenskyy has insisted Ukraine urgently needs seven more U.S.-made Patriot air defence systems.
