Russia launched a large-scale overnight aerial assault, firing hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles at Kyiv and Lviv. The scale of the attack prompted Poland to deploy jets to protect its airspace for several hours, though no violation of Polish airspace was reported. The Polish border lies about 90 kilometers from Lviv. US Vice President JD Vance said Washington expects European countries to shoulder the "lion's share" of post-war Ukraine security guarantees while the US would assist if necessary. European leaders and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met at the White House to discuss post-war security arrangements.

Meanwhile, US Vice President JD Vance has said that European countries will need to provide the "lion's share" of any security guarantees for a post-war Ukraine.
US Vice President JD Vance said in a TV interview late Wednesday that Washington expects European countries to shoulder the "lion's share" of the burden of Ukraine's security guarantees. "I don't think we should carry the burden here. I think that we should be helpful if it's necessary to stop the war and to stop the killing. But I think that we should expect, and the president certainly expects, Europe to play the leading role here," Vance told Fox News.
