The US has resumed military supplies to Ukraine and senior officials in Kyiv will work on military cooperation next week with Washington\u2019s special envoy, Keith Kellogg,<\/strong> the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said on Friday.<\/strong> He restated that Ukraine had received high-level signals from Washington and its other western allies that arms supplies, paused for a time last week<\/a>, had now resumed. \u201cWe are currently working with partners on new supplies, increased weapons production in Ukraine and better support for our army,\u201d he said. \u201cNext week, we will continue working with the US side on a military level \u2026 We are also preparing new European defence packages.\u201d Kellogg, interviewed by the Ukrainian media outlet Novyny.LIVE while attending a conference about Ukraine in Rome, said: \u201cWe\u2019ll be in Kyiv Monday. We\u2019ll be there all week.\u201d
Donald Trump confirmed he had struck a deal with Nato leaders to supply weapons to Ukraine, Andrew Roth writes<\/a>.<\/strong> During an interview with NBC News, the US president said: \u201cSo what we\u2019re doing is the weapons that are going out are going to Nato, and then Nato is going to be giving those weapons [to Ukraine], and Nato is paying for those weapons.\u201d He added: \u201cI\u2019m disappointed in Russia, but we\u2019ll see what happens over the next couple of weeks.\u201d
The EU\u2019s top diplomat has said the 27-nation bloc was pondering a new raft of sanctions against Moscow.<\/strong> \u201cRussia has increased its attacks against civilians to really cause as much pain \u2026 and that\u2019s unacceptable,\u201d the EU foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, said. Brussels was considering an 18th round of sanctions against Moscow and \u201cwe are also still in negotiations to put the oil price cap on, that would deprive Russia from the means to fund this war\u201d, she told AFP.
Kallas said she was assured by Laos\u2019s top diplomat that Vientiane had \u201cno intention or willingness\u201d to send military help to Russia,<\/strong> following claims that Moscow was planning to involve military personnel from Laos to bolster its efforts in Ukraine<\/a>. \u201cI also expressed that it has consequences for European aid to Laos if something like this is happening,\u201d Kallas said. \u201cIf you [Laos] contribute to that existential threat, we can\u2019t have good cooperation,\u201d she warned.
Ukrainian drone and shelling attacks killed three people in Russia on Friday. Russian air defence systems intercepted 155 Ukrainian drones overnight, Moscow said.<\/strong> There was one dead in Russia\u2019s Lipetsk region and another was killed in the western Tula region from the drone attacks, local officials said. Ukrainian shelling later killed another civilian in the border region of Belgorod, the governor announced. The Russian defence ministry said out of the 155 downed Ukrainian drones, 11 were bound for Moscow.
Ukraine said its drones struck a Russian fighter aircraft plant in the Moscow region and a missile production facility in the Tula region, causing explosions and fires at both.<\/strong> Ukraine\u2019s military said on Telegram the aviation facility in the town of Lukhovitsy, about 135km (84 miles) south-east of Moscow, produced MiG fighters. The other site was the Instrument Design Bureau, which specialised in producing anti-aircraft missiles and missile-gun systems, it said. \u201cDefence forces continue to take all steps to undermine the military and economic potential of the Russian occupiers,\u201d the military said.
Russian bombardments on eastern Ukraine overnight on Friday forced the evacuation of a maternity centre in Kharkiv and wounded nine people.<\/strong> Zelenskyy said a medical facility was hit in the attack on the country\u2019s second-largest city. \u201cAmong the wounded are women in a maternity hospital \u2013 mothers with newborns, women recovering from surgery,\u201d he wrote on social media. \u201cFortunately, no children were injured.\u201d He added that several other regions were attacked overnight.
Nato will need more long-range missiles in its arsenal to deter Russia from attacking Europe because Moscow is expected to increase production of long-range weapons, a US army general told Reuters.<\/strong> \u201cThe Russian army is bigger today than it was when they started the war in Ukraine,\u201d Maj Gen John Rafferty said at a US military base in Wiesbaden, Germany. \u201cAnd we know that they\u2019re going to continue to invest in long-range rockets and missiles and sophisticated air defences. So more alliance capability is really, really important.\u201d
The Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said on Friday that wartime censorship in Russia is justified amid the conflict with Ukraine and the closure of opposition-minded media.<\/strong> Speaking to Russian magazine Expert, Peskov said that many media outlets have been closed, while some reporters have left the country in the past three years. \u201cBut don\u2019t forget the situation we are in. Now is the time of military censorship, unprecedented for our country. After all, the war is going on in the information space too,\u201d Peskov told the magazine. Russian authorities also blocked X, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube. \u201cIt would be wrong to turn a blind eye to the media that are deliberately engaged in discrediting Russia,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
