Overview

• Zelensky said his second call with President Trump in 48 hours was “very productive,” focusing on air defense, resilience and long‑range strike needs.
• He also spoke with President Macron, pressing for additional air‑defense systems and missiles to counter stepped‑up Russian attacks.
• The possible U.S. supply of Tomahawk cruise missiles was discussed without a decision, and the Kremlin called the prospect a matter of grave concern and a very dramatic escalation risk.
• The Financial Times reported that U.S. intelligence has been provided to help Ukraine target Russian energy infrastructure.
• Russian strikes again damaged Ukrainian power facilities, causing a blackout in Donetsk, and a delegation led by Andriy Yermak and Yulia Svyrydenko is slated to visit Washington next week.
