Oleksandr Syrskyi said Ukraine would continue expanding the capabilities of units already deployed in the northern sector, but did not clarify whether the measures were intended to counter threats from Russia, Belarus, or both.

The meeting marked the first face-to-face encounter between Zelensky and Trump in nearly four months, as Kyiv seeks to revive stalled peace talks with Moscow.

"Russia must be forced to end its war against our people. And Ukraine's long-range weapons are one of the important components of such pressure," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

The number includes 1,230 casualties that Russian forces suffered over the past day.

Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko said that Belarus poses no military threat to Ukraine and apologized to President Volodymyr Zelensky for previous harsh remarks, according to an interview with Al Arabiya.

"Today, we're launching talks on the backbone of the accession process: including justice, freedom, and fundamental rights," the European Commission said.

A Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber crashed while approaching for landing during a training flight in Irkutsk Oblast, Russia’s Defense Ministry claimed.
