- Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to meet president Donald Trump at the Nato summit in Ankara, Turkey, this week.
- Zelensky intends to press the alliance for interceptor missiles after Ukraine was unable to down any of the ballistic missiles fired by Russia on Monday.
- Ukraine's Air Force reported that all 29 ballistic missiles launched by Russia overnight into Monday struck their targets, primarily Kyiv, due to a critical shortage of interceptors.
- Zelensky criticised the 'nonsensical' lack of scaled-up production of interceptors due to Patriot missiles being the only effective defence against ballistic projectiles.
- President Donald Trump stated that a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine is 'getting closer than people realise' and will be a topic of discussion at the Nato summit.
