Zelensky announces new aviation aid packages after Macron talks

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced new aid packages to strengthen Ukraine's aviation will arrive this month, following talks with French President Emmanuel Macron. Zelensky said the meeting was substantive, covering countermeasures against Russian attacks. He also stated work is accelerating on the European anti-ballistic system FREYJA, which should be operational by year's end. Macron affirmed France's resolve to support Ukraine with necessary self-defense means. During the meeting, Russia struck Lutsk's energy infrastructure with a drone, causing blackouts. Zelensky noted Russia ignored a US ceasefire proposal and exploited Starlink issues. This follows mass drone attacks on Lutsk on October 13-14 that killed six people.
