Thirteen dead and 46 injured. This is the toll from the massive Russian airstrike that struck several Ukrainian cities, including Kiev, Kharkiv, and Lutsk, on the night of Friday into Saturday. "The pace of Russia's airstrikes requires quick decisions and can now be curbed by sanctions. We expect our partners not just to send signals but to take life-saving action," Zelensky said. Meanwhile, US military supplies to Ukraine have resumed, and Trump is considering sending a new arms package. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un assured Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov of his "unconditional" support in the war against Ukraine, considering Moscow's victory "certain."

Russia deployed three warships to the Mediterranean Sea today, including an aircraft carrier equipped with Kalibr cruise missiles, the Ukrainian Navy announced, as reported by RBC-Ukraine.

Trump considers possible new funding for Kiev
US President Donald Trump is considering authorizing new funding for Ukraine for the first time since taking office in January, CBS News reports, citing multiple diplomatic sources. Earlier this week, Trump hinted that he wanted to send Ukraine additional defensive weapons. A few days earlier, his administration had suspended some arms shipments, a move a White House official said was part of a broader global review of arms transfers. It's unclear where Trump might draw the new funds, but U.S. officials told CBS News that the president has $3.85 billion remaining from Biden-era presidential withdrawal authority, which could be used to send American military equipment to Ukraine. Former officials also told CBS News that the president has the authority to seize approximately $5 billion in Russian assets abroad and direct the funds to Ukraine, although neither he nor former President Joe Biden have ever exercised that power.
Russia: North Korea offers unconditional support for Ukraine
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un assured Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov of his "unconditional" support in the war against Ukraine, considering Moscow's victory "certain," Pyongyang's official media reported. According to the state-run KCNA news agency, Kim received Lavrov "in an atmosphere of trust and warm camaraderie," as North Korea and Russia strengthen their diplomatic and military ties. The Russian Foreign Ministry posted a video on Telegram showing the two men shaking hands and embracing. Moscow and Pyongyang signed a mutual defense pact last year, and North Korea has sent thousands of troops to help recapture the Kursk region, which was captured by the Ukrainian army in the summer of 2024. North Korea also supplies Russia with shells and missiles. Kim Jong Un told his guest that North Korea was "ready to unconditionally support and encourage all measures taken by the Russian leadership to eliminate the root cause of the Ukrainian crisis." The North Korean leader also expressed his "firm belief that the Russian military and people will achieve certain victory by pursuing the sacred cause of defending the country's dignity and fundamental interests." The two also discussed "important issues for the faithful implementation of the agreements reached" during their 2024 summit, when the defense pact was signed during a rare visit to North Korea by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
