Overview

  • President Trump announced the resumption and expansion of U.S. defensive weapons shipments to Ukraine after a Pentagon inventory review paused key deliveries last week.
  • Ukraine and Russia have exchanged massive drone offensives—Ukraine struck Moscow airports and Russia deployed a record 273 drones against Ukrainian cities—disrupting air travel and military infrastructure.
  • Recent Russian air and drone attacks on Ukraine have killed civilians, including a nine-year-old girl, and wounded dozens across multiple regions.
  • Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reiterated that Moscow will only negotiate a lasting peace if Ukraine legally recognizes its annexation of Crimea and other occupied regions and commits to perpetual neutrality.
  • Russian troops seized the Shevchenko lithium deposit in Donetsk, dealing a strategic blow to Ukraine’s future defense manufacturing capabilities.
