Ukraine secures $72M for interceptor drones to defend against Russian drone attacks.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal announced contracts worth over $72 million for interceptor drones to counter Russian Shahed drones. Ukraine is bolstered by international support, including 1,300 drones from Latvia, but faces intense Russian drone attacks. Russia recently used Chinese-made drones in the conflict, raising questions about China's involvement. Despite ongoing diplomatic efforts, fighting continues near key towns, with Ukraine repelling 139 attacks.
