Calls for coalition to shore up Kyiv's air defences: How to protect skies over Ukraine?

The Debate

Ukrainians wonder if there's a double standard. An international community that comes together to fend off Iran's attack on Israel can't increase its air defence commitments in time to defend against Russian air strikes, such as the one that took out the Trypilska thermal power station last week. We ask if Volodymyr Zelensky is right, and whether EU leaders gathered at a summit in Brussels need to treat Iran and Russia as one common foe, particularly given how close the pair have drawn in the past two years.

On that score, how seriously should we take talk of new sanctions against regimes that have long mastered the art of avoiding them?
