Russian strike on passenger train will not deter Ukraine’s backers, Nato chief says

A Russian drone attack narrowly missed a passenger train carrying prominent figures, including Boris Johnson and David Petraeus, near Ukraine's border with Poland. The incident highlights Vladimir Putin's growing desperation in the conflict. Nato chief's statement suggests that the attack will not deter Ukraine's western backers, who will continue to support Kyiv. This means that economic and military aid to Ukraine will likely remain steady, with no significant change in the West's stance on the conflict.

Why it matters

The Russian strike on a passenger train has increased tensions and shown Vladimir Putin's desperation. This could lead to increased support for Ukraine from Nato and its allies.
