Ukraine-Russia War

Only one Russian ballistic missile was intercepted overnight on Friday, Zelensky said, “simply because there are no interceptors for the Patriot systems.”

Rubio said US military pressure has left Iran "eager" for deals on denuclearization and the Strait of Hormuz, as Trump halted strikes and said an agreement could be imminent.

Despite previously publicly announcing that he would grant Kyiv the license to the surface-to-air interceptor missiles, Trump told the FT that he was “not sure” about the license.

Olha Stefanishyna told reporters that Ukraine was in discussions with the Pentagon about a license to produce Patriot PAC-3 missiles itself, but that process could take 12 months to five years.

Donald Tusk said the missile posed no direct threat and would have been intercepted had it continued flying, as NATO pledged to defend allied territory.

Telegram, an encrypted messenger app founded in 2013, says it has more than 1 billion users and is widely used on both sides of the Russia-Ukraine war.

"It was a very positive meeting. You could see the chemistry between the leaders," a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post. 

"Our number-one priority is anti-ballistic defense and strategic cooperation with America. Peace needs to be brought closer," Zelensky stated on an X post.

One of the aides said the Senate was also expected to begin voting during Zelensky's visit on a bill to impose sanctions on Russia that was championed by Graham.

Davyd Aloian, who oversees the Freyja project, said that an international steering committee tasked with estimating the research and development costs was due to convene for the first time soon.
