The Oreshnik missile struck close to Ukraine's border with Poland, a NATO member. Russia fired its hypersonic Oreshnik missile overnight at Ukraine, Moscow confirmed on Friday, striking a city barely miles away from the Ukrainian border with Poland, at a time when efforts to forge a peace deal are sputtering. Some experts say that Moscow carried out this attack to intimidate Ukraine's European and Western allies.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday told reporters that President Donald Trump is considering sending U.S. troops to his country. In recent days, Trump has spoken with both Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate an end to the war in the region. Those peace efforts were further complicated when Russia launched strikes on Kyiv over the weekend the day before Trump and Zelensky met at Mar-a-Lago.

The US President's original 28-point peace plan, which was accepted by the Kremlin, had called for a "neutral, demilitarized buffer zone" to be established once Ukrainian troops withdraw from the Donbas region and the Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts, in preparation for Kyiv to cede territory.

Several groups of Russia n infantry have been annihilated by Ukrainian fighters destroying 15 people, a buggy and two quad bikes. The Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that anti-aircraft units struck the 80 th Halychyna Brigade in the Sumy region overnight and stopped them dead in their tracks. They were crossing the border and were moving into Ukrainian positions, they added, "The enemy thought that at night it would not be noticed, but it was wrong and was destroyed."

Ukraine's top general Oleksandr Syrskii said Kyiv's troops were stepping up assaults on Russian forces around the eastern Ukrainian town of Dobropillia to ease pressure on the embattled hub of Pokrovsk. Ukrainian forces carried out a long-range drone strike on a petrochemical plant in Russia's Bashkortostan region. Kyiv's military intelligence agency said the attack on the Sterlitamak plant sparked a fire in part of the facility that produces an additive for aviation fuel.

Ukrainian soldiers told Business Insider that a shift is underway and that the use of medium-range drones has become more commonplace as both sides withdraw logistics and fighting positions to spots farther away from the line of contact, beyond the reach of shorter-range first-person-view (FPV) drones. The evolution and resulting expansion of the kill zone show how both sides in this conflict are adjusting their targeting approaches as the battlefield changes and further underscore the role drones play in the war.

Zelenskyy said Russian shelling was preventing restoration of a power line needed to cool the reactors and prevent a meltdown. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the UN nuclear watchdog, said it was working with both sides to restore the external power line. Rafael Grossi said there was no immediate danger as long as diesel generators remained in operation, providing emergency power for the facility.

Ukraine says it will continue targeting Russian infrastructure delivering troops, fuel and ammunition to the front lines. Russia and Ukraine have been engaging in major aerial battles, targeting energy and transportation infrastructure, as Moscow presses its fierce ground assault in the Ukrainian east in the war's fourth year and tests a type of hypersonic weapon. Russia's Ministry of Defence announced on Sunday that its air defences shot down 361 drones, four guided aerial bombs, and rockets from a US-made high mobility artillery rocket system (HIMARS) overnight.

We'll put more there if they want, he said in the Oval Office. We're with Poland all the way, and we'll help Poland protect itself. Nawrocki, a right-wing historian and avid Trump ally who was sworn in as Poland's new president last month, thanked Trump for his commitment to continued cooperation with his country. Those relations for me, for Poland, for Poles, are very important, he said.

Look, President Trump just secured a win with some of the largest tax cuts in history, Luna told Charlie Hurt. Not to mention, he's going to be capping prescription prices. Luna then echoed a misleading claim about monks in Cambodia nominating the president for the Peace Prize. And also, he's continuing to broker world peace, so much so that literally hundreds of monks have nominated him, including world leaders, for the Nobel Peace Prize, she continued.

Any peace deal that would force Ukraine to give up territory to Russia is "bulls-t," heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk told Piers Morgan in a recent interview.

"A lot of women teach children, some volunteer in different organizations, some help the Ukrainian army, and I wanted to appreciate these women for their work."
