## retained text



```
Ukraine and its European allies on Monday announced a coalition to develop an anti-ballistic missile system to protect against Russian attacks.
Europe has stepped up its commitments to Kyiv as the US pulls back from its role as the continent’s guardian: France’s president said Europe would defend itself “with blood, if necessary.”
Ukraine’s drone attacks have triggered a fuel crisis in Russia and forced Moscow to suspend shipping in a critical waterway, shifting the war’s momentum in Kyiv’s favor. But one of Ukraine’s leading drone proponents is now focusing on the war’s next phase: “the battle for minds,” The New York Times reported. She is spearheading efforts to deploy “cognitive warfare” to undermine public support within Russia for the war.
