- Kellogg said there are no "inviolable places" in Russia but did not clarify whether any strikes would involve American weaponry.
- Recent reporting cited by RIA notes the Wall Street Journal said Trump was open to easing limits on the use of U.S. long‑range systems against targets in Russia, without making firm commitments.

- Russian officials escalated warnings, with Dmitry Medvedev threatening responses that shelters would not protect against and Sergey Lavrov saying arms shipments to Ukraine are legitimate targets.
