As diplomatic efforts toward a Russia-Ukraine ceasefire gain momentum, Western policymakers face a critical strategic question: how to ensure any peace agreement actually holds. Military experts warn that history suggests Russia treats ceasefires not as steps toward peace, but as opportunities to rearm and resume pressure through alternative means. Retired Air Force Lieutenant General David A. Deptula and Naval War College Research Fellow Jahara Matisek argue that the key to a durable peace lies in constructing a robust airpower architecture capable of detecting, intercepting, and deterring Russian violations within minutes. Their solution: an Allied Air Command for Ukraine (AAC-U)—a multinational, integrated command structure that would unify Ukrainian fighters, allied aircraft, ground-based air defenses, and intelligence assets under unified control.

Australia is weighing a significant military decision: transferring its fleet of retiring Airbus Tiger attack helicopters to Ukraine. According to reporting from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation on December 3, 2025, discussions between Canberra and Kyiv are underway as the Australian Army transitions to Boeing AH-64E Apache helicopters. Ukraine formally requested the Tiger transfer as Australia prepares to retire its 22-aircraft fleet. The Tigers, which entered service in the mid-2000s, are scheduled for retirement in 2028, though that timeline could accelerate with the Apache transition already underway. No final decision has been made, and any transfer would be handled separately from Australia’s newly announced military assistance initiatives.

Moldova’s airspace closure on the night of November 28-29, 2025, highlighted the growing risks facing regional aviation as Russia’s air campaign against Ukraine continues to violate neighboring territories. The Ministry of Defense confirmed that two Gerbera-type drones triggered an emergency shutdown from 22:43 to 23:53 after crossing Moldovan airspace along the Stanislavka-Vărăncău axis en route to Ukraine. The incident resulted in immediate flight diversions, with two inbound aircraft redirected to Romania and one outbound flight held at Chisinau International Airport. The northern sector remained restricted until 23:32, when both drones were confirmed to have exited national territory. No debris or casualties were reported on Moldovan soil.
