Poland on Tuesday hailed progress in resolving a historical dispute with Ukraine and said Warsaw would work to speed its neighbour's progress towards the European Union in talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskiy which also covered arms supplies.

NATO member Poland scrambled fighter jets after overnight Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine, Warsaw's military said on Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Operational Command of the Polish Armed Forces told Newsweek that "intense long-range aviation activity" from Russia had been detected early on Wednesday.

British peacekeepers could be sent to Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky suggested, as Sir Keir Starmer pledged “more military support than ever” for the war-torn country.

The Russian missiles sought out targets from the Lviv region in western Ukraine near Poland to Kharkiv in northeast Ukraine bordering Russia. The state energy company Ukrenergo reported emergency power outages in six regions. It often shuts down production during attacks as a precaution.
