- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will plead for more interceptor missiles at the Nato summit in Turkey after Ukraine failed to down any Russian ballistic missiles on Monday.
- Ukraine's Air Force reported that all 29 ballistic missiles launched by Russia overnight into Monday, primarily targeting Kyiv, successfully struck their intended targets.
- Mr Zelensky criticised the “nonsensical” lack of scaled-up production of interceptors, which are crucial for protecting against ballistic terror.
- Ukrainian officials, including Air Force spokesperson Yurii Ihnat and Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, highlighted Russia's exploitation of Ukraine's acute shortage of Patriot interceptors.
- Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said that a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine is “getting closer than people realise” and he plans to discuss Ukraine at the Nato summit.
