Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that Roman Abramovich, the Russian oligarch and former Chelsea FC owner, met with him in Kyiv to discuss potential peace negotiations. Abramovich offered to convey a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin, emphasizing the need for discretion in the communications. Zelenskyy reiterated Ukraine's determination to defend its territory, asserting that they will not concede to Russian demands. In a separate meeting with leaders from the UK, France, and Germany, Zelenskyy discussed the urgent need to enhance Ukraine's air defense systems, particularly in response to the threat posed by Russian hypersonic missiles. Meanwhile, a Russian drone strike targeted a nuclear fuel storage facility near Chornobyl, although it was empty at the time. The ongoing conflict has escalated, with recent Russian attacks resulting in civilian casualties across Ukraine. Moldova's President Maia Sandu expressed the need for advanced interceptor drones to protect against potential threats from Russia, as incidents involving Russian drones have raised concerns in her country.
