JAKARTA - Russia launched attacks with 270 unmanned aircraft (drone) and 10 missiles overnight in one of its biggest attacks this month. This attack comes amid Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's request for the United States to ensure the security of its country.
Reported by Reuters on Tuesday, August 19, the Ukrainian Air Force claimed to have brought down 230 drones and six missiles. The military recorded Russian attacks on 16 locations with four missiles and 40 drones.
At the White House on Tuesday morning WIB, US President Donald Trump told Zelenskyy the US would help ensure Ukraine's security in any deal to end the war with Russia there, although it was not clear what assistance would be provided.
Trump made the promise at an extraordinary summit at the White House, where he hosted President Zelenskyy and a number of European ally leaders, after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week in Alaska.
Those accompanying President Zelenskyy were European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Finnish President Alexander Stubb, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.

Zelenskyy described his direct talks with President Trump as "very good" and said they discussed Ukraine's need for security guarantees.
"This is very important, that the United States is giving a strong signal and ready for security guarantees," he said.
