Russian overnight attacks on Ukraine killed three people, including a fifteen-year-old boy and his mother, according to local officials. These strikes continued just hours before a scheduled meeting between US President Donald Trump and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky at the NATO summit in Ankara.

On the sidelines of the summit, President Trump told Zelensky that the US would grant Ukraine a license to manufacture its own Patriot air-defense systems. These Patriot interceptor missiles are the only weapons in Kyiv's arsenal capable of shooting down Russia's ballistic missiles.

NATO allies also unveiled billions of dollars in defense deals during the summit. Additionally, Zelensky announced plans to sign new drone deals. Ukraine criticized the International Olympic Committee's provisional lifting of its suspension of Russia's Olympic Committee as "premature" and "unfounded." Meanwhile, President Trump said the US would lift sanctions on Turkey related to its purchase of Russian defense missiles.

Kyiv responded to the Russian strikes with drone attacks targeting sites in Russia.
