Russian forces fired 267 drones at Ukraine in an overnight attack, striking five regions of Ukraine; 138 of them were shot down, with 119 jammed by electronic warfare en route, according to Kyiv, in which case only 10 drones made it to their target.
President Zelensky declared his focus on Ukraine’s security on the eve of the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion on Ukraine.
His remarks follow US president Donald Trump’s jibes that he was a “dictator without elections” following US talks with Russia in Saudi Arabia, as he warned that Ukraine “better move fast or he's not going to have a country left”.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he would give up his presidency if doing so guaranteed lasting peace for Ukraine and membership of Nato.
He also ruled out a rare earth minerals deal where $500bn worth of profits from Ukrainian rare minerals would be given to the US to compensate for military aid provided over the last three years under Joe Biden.
