Ukraine reported at least 13 deaths from a Russian attack on a train station. The strike targeted a platform where two regular trains were standing. Zelenskyy called the attack 'horrific' and condemned the Russian military action.
Ukraine’s Zelenskyy praised the US over a $2.1bn Patriot missile deal but warned deliveries could take years. He urged American partners to find a solution for urgent needs. The US has approved the sale of 500 PAC-3 missiles to Ukraine for $2.1bn.
Zelenskyy said US and European allies have sufficient stockpiles of Patriot interceptors to provide to Ukraine now. The missiles are not expected to be delivered until a couple of years into the 2030s. Ukraine will pay for the missiles with contributions from Canada, Germany and Norway through a program called US Jumpstart.
Zelenskyy will head to Turkey for talks as part of diplomatic efforts. He hopes for a trilateral meeting between Ukraine, Russia, and the US in Abu Dhabi. Turkey has repeatedly offered to help facilitate talks aimed at ending the war.
