Ukraine's air force said Russia launched 93 drones and two ballistic missiles into the country overnight,

Ukrainian officials say more than 19,000 children have been unlawfully deported to Russia or occupied areas, with reports suggesting the number could be far higher.

Special U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff says Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed to allow the U.S. and Europe to offer Ukraine a security guarantee resembling NATO's collective defense mandate.

Trump pledges no U.S. troops will defend Ukraine's border and plans Putin-Zelenskyy meeting as part of ongoing peace efforts to end the war between Russia and Ukraine.
