Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appealed to leaders of the Group of Seven nations on Tuesday (Oct 11) for more air defence capabilities and the G7 vowed to support Kyiv for "as long as it takes" while warning Russia against any use of nuclear weapons.
NATO said it was closely monitoring Russia's nuclear forces following a string of Russian battlefield defeats in Ukraine and that the allies were also boosting security around key infrastructure after recent attacks on Baltic Sea gas pipelines.
