Lithuania calls on West to cut economic ties with Russia

"From the EU perspective, the talks are about more than three Patriot systems for Ukraine," a German government spokesperson said.

Russian troops launched drone attacks on Kharkiv and Sumy oblasts on July 14, killing one person and injuring at least 21, local authorities reported.

"I have proposed that Yuliia Svyrydenko lead the Government of Ukraine and significantly renew its work," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

"We discussed the path to peace and what we can practically do together to bring it closer," President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote.

"The Baltic region is tense due to the aggressive policies of European coastal states," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said.

The aircraft had three crew members and two technicians on board, Russian pro-government media outlet Kommersant reported.

"Constructive dialogue between Russia and the U.S. will always achieve more than the tired, destructive language of pressure," Kirill Dmitriev, head of Russia's sovereign wealth fund, wrote.

The deployment took place in Sumy Oblast, a northeastern region bordering Russia that has recently faced renewed Moscow's attempts to advance.

Ukraine's Air Force said Russian forces launched 136 drones overnight, including Iranian-designed Shahed-type attack drones, and fired four S-300/400 guided missiles.

Russian Shahed-type drones regularly breach Belarusian airspace as they fly towards Ukrainian cities during mass attacks which have escalated significantly over recent weeks.

Russian President Vladimir Putin told U.S. President Donald Trump that Moscow intended to continue offensive operations until it secured the full administrative borders of occupied Ukrainian regions.

The number includes 1,130 casualties Russian forces suffered just over the past day.

The EU is close to reaching a full agreement on its 18th sanctions package against Moscow, which will include a new Russian oil price cap, Reuters reported on July 13, citing four sources within the bloc.
