Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and Lithuanian Foreign Minister Kęstutis Budrys discussed the development of defense-industrial partnership and long-term support for Ukraine during a meeting in Kyiv.
NATO Allies continue to support Ukraine in its defense against Russian aggression and will stand with Ukraine through all future challenges to ensure it can deter any further acts of aggression.
Russia has yet to respond to Ukraine's constructive ceasefire proposals presented in Istanbul, offering only ultimatums instead. This calls for increased sanctions pressure and a devastating blow to key sectors of the Russian economy.
As long as Russia continues its aggression and attacks on civilians, Ukraine will target and destroy its military infrastructure and tools of terror, as demonstrated by the special operation "Spiderweb."
Since the start of the day, 88 combat engagements have taken place between Ukrainian defenders and Russian forces, with battles ongoing in nine sectors of the front, most intensely near the Kursk axis.
In the southern operational zone, operators of the Unmanned Systems Forces helped the Air Force execute a precision strike on a Russian ammunition depot using an AASM Hammer guided air bomb.
