## retained text



```
Ukraine’s allies gather in Paris today to discuss further military aid for Kyiv, but Europe is still struggling to wean itself off Russian gas.
The “Coalition of the Willing,” a grouping led by France and the UK, has expanded to 37 members, mostly European.
It is expected to back new air-defense commitments for Ukraine, which is still suffering under Russian attacks even as battlefield momentum shifts in Kyiv’s favor.
EU countries, though, imported a record amount of LNG from Russia’s flagship Arctic plant, demonstrating the bloc’s struggles to cut Moscow off entirely despite heavily restricting pipeline gas, oil, and coal imports. A ban on LNG imports will come into effect in 2027.
