🇺🇦🇺🇸 Zelensky: Today, Rustem Umerov reported on the results of meetings with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.

Contacts are ongoing at the necessary level to agree on the configuration of the exchange. The lists have been transferred, and we expect that the American side will be active in ensuring the implementation of this agreement.

Possible formats for meetings and negotiations at the level of leaders to end the Russian war were also discussed in America.

Rustem reported separately and in detail on contacts with countries that are interested in Drone Deals with Ukraine.

About 20 countries are already working at various stages: four agreements have already been signed, and the first contracts are being prepared within the framework of these agreements.

Now Ukraine is already guaranteed the first energy results thanks to these agreements – the necessary volume of fuel on the Ukrainian market is provided.

In addition to the Middle East and the Gulf, the South Caucasus and Europe, we will soon open such a new security cooperation within the framework of Drone Deals with another part of the world.

🇰🇷 HMM Vessel Strike Pushes Seoul Toward Hormuz Mission

South Korea's foreign ministry has confirmed that two unidentified flying objects struck the Panama-flagged cargo vessel Namu, operated by HMM Co., in the Strait of Hormuz last Monday. A government investigation team boarded the ship after it was towed to Dubai, finding a 7-meter rupture in the hull. No casualties were reported among the 24 crew members.

Seoul has maintained a low profile on joining the U.S.-proposed Maritime Freedom Construct (MFC), a framework combining intelligence sharing and military coordination to secure the strait. The confirmed strike — combined with direct pressure from Trump, who called on Seoul to join freedom-of-navigation efforts — has prompted the defense ministry to formally review participation, with options ranging from liaison officer deployment to redirecting the Cheonghae anti-piracy unit from the Gulf of Aden.

Any military deployment to the strait would require National Assembly approval, adding procedural delay to a decision Seoul describes as contingent on alliance obligations, domestic law, and peninsula security conditions.

Russian logistics are being hit up to 100 km from the front line. The video shows the Crimea route before Dzhankoi, a key corridor for movement toward the occupied peninsula.

Ukraine’s SBU issued a new suspicion notice in absentia to former MP Yevhen Murayev, accusing him of denying Russia’s armed aggression and spreading pro-Kremlin propaganda from abroad. Investigators said he called Russia’s war an “internal civil conflict,” urged Ukrainians to lay down arms and justified the temporary occupation of Ukrainian territory. He faces up to 15 years in prison with asset confiscation.

❗️ Russian logistics are already affected a hundred kilometers from the frontline, which means that Putin's so-called "land bridge" to Crimea will never fully work

A fire broke out at Severstal’s large metallurgical plant in Cherepovets in Russia, with smoke visible across the city. The blaze is burning in the coke-chemical production area, where benzene and lubricant barrels are on fire.
