Ukraine's drone successes give Kyiv leverage at G7, but must sway Trump

Ukraine has achieved notable progress in its drone warfare against Russia. Recent battlefield successes have highlighted the effectiveness of Ukrainian drone operations. Kyiv has also secured drone procurement agreements with several European nations. These deals increase Ukraine's aerial capabilities and diplomatic clout. The timing coincides with the upcoming G7 leaders' summit. At the summit, Ukraine hopes to leverage its gains to influence discussions. However, attention in Washington is focused elsewhere, and former President Trump remains a key figure. Ukraine therefore aims to persuade Trump to support its position.
