- Earlier, the Lithuanian president said that his country bought two NASAMS launchers, which it plans to hand over to Ukraine.
- The Vilnius NATO summit will be held on July 11-12. An aid package will be approved there, which should bring Ukraine closer to NATO standards in a few years.
- The head of the Foreign Ministry Dmytro Kuleba said that at the NATO summit in Vilnius in July, the Alliance should make a political decision — to present a timetable for Ukraineʼs accession or commit to doing so by the end of the year, so that this would be a signal to Russia. President Volodymyr Zelensky will also come to the July summit — he has accepted the invitation.
- According to The Financial Times, the USA, Germany and Hungary are resisting attempts by Poland and the Baltic states to offer Ukraine a plan for NATO membership at the Allianceʼs July summit in Vilnius.
