1 Tu-22M3 strategic bomber is airborne, redeploying from Shaykovka air base in Kaluga Oblast to Olenya Air Base in Murmansk Oblast. Its possible that this is the same one that flew from Olenya to Shaykovka yesterday, and that it is now equipped with Kh-22 cruise missiles.

🇵🇸🇮🇱⚡- According to Reuters, Israel wishes to extend the first phase of the Gaza ceasefire deal by 42 days, which Hamas 'categorically rejects', and wants talks on Phase 2 to begin.

The meeting between Trump and Zelensky went really bad for Zelensky. I’ll compile what they said later on.

The mineral deal between Ukraine and the U.S. will not go ahead. Zelensky’s last lifeline is gone.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is set to appear on CNN in approximately 2 hours.

Zelenskyy's statements in an exclusive interview with FOX:

• As soon as the US gives guarantees, we will proceed to diplomacy;

• If you had the opportunity to return to the White House right now, would you return? — No;

• Good words to Putin will not change the reality: Putin and Russia are enemies for Ukrainians. But this does not mean that Ukrainians do not want peace. Ukrainians want guarantees and to hear that the US is with Ukraine, not with Russia;

• The first security guarantees will be Trump's clear words that the US is on Ukraine's side;

• We are ready for peace. But we must be in a strong position - to have a strong army, to know that our allies are with us;

• On the question of his resignation: this decision can only be made by the people of Ukraine;

• Was the fight in the White House planned in advance? — I don't know;

• When big politicians say: "Ukraine is destroyed, soldiers have fled, Ukraine has lost millions of people, its president is a dictator"... I don't want to lose our big partners - the USA. I said: "Please be careful with the numbers". We don't have millions of losses. There are no territories - this is someone's home... When they started repeating these things - these are not good things between partners. With all due respect to the Vice President;

• Do you think the public debate in the Oval Office in front of the media benefited Ukrainians? — You know, we can't change our Ukrainian attitude towards Russia. They are murderers to us.

• We don't have any million losses;

• Can they be saved? relationship with Trump? — Yes, I think so;

• Is Trump too close to Putin? — Trump said today that he is in the middle. But I would like him to be on our side.

Compilation of Zelensky and Trump's statements during their talks at The White House earlier today.

It started off in a good mood with Trump shaking hands with Zelensky saying "He's all dressed up today". He later on complimented Zelensky's clothing again.

Zelensky said "I think Trump will not stop supporting Ukraine," while Trump said "We will have arms to [send to] Ukraine. Hopefully we won't have to send much," however he reiterated his belief that a ceasefire agreement is inevitable.

Trump then goes on to say that Zelensky is a "great guy", and that Ukrainian soldiers have been "unbelievably brave", crediting Zelensky, his generals and soldiers. "It's been very hard fighting, very tough fighting. You have to be very proud of them," he said.

Then Zelensky and JD Vance began arguing, with Vance claiming Ukraine has no men left. Trump intervenes and comments that Zelensky should be grateful to them (Trump and Vance).

Trump then goes on to say that Ukraine does not have enough troops, adding "You can't tell us whether I want a ceasefire or not."

He then made the statement "You either make a deal or we are out."

Trump went on to say, "If it weren't for our weapons, this war would be over very quickly," and that "You [Zelensky] are showing disrespect to our country. I know you are not winning."

Both then agreed to end the conference early and cancelled the press conference that was planned for after the meeting.

There were also various statements made by both parties. I will put them below:

Trump: "Once we make a deal, it will be over. Russia will not come back."

Zelensky: "Putin violated ceasefire with Ukraine 25 times."

Zelensky: "We will never accept a ceasefire alone. Russia will violate it, we need guarantees."

Zelensky: "Putin must pay for Ukraine's restoration."

Trump: "I've spoken to him (Putin) many times, we spoke a couple of days ago,"

Trump: "We are on the brink of World War 3, you can't dictate rules to us and say, 'I want this, I want that', you can't say 'I don't want to stop the war'"

Trump: "Either we sign this deal, or you walk out and fight your own war, you show no gratitude-"

Ukrainian forces have infiltrated the Toretsk Central Coal Mine.

Key word: infiltration. This is not a counteroffensive.

Satellite imagery reveals that multiple fuel tanks at the Boryspil Airport oil depot were destroyed after a Russian Geran-2 drone(s) struck it the night before. The fire that broke out has been extinguished, however.

Prime Minister of New Zealand:

New Zealand remains steadfast in its support for Ukraine as it defends itself in a war that Russia started.

It's mounting the defence of a proud, democratic and sovereign nation, but also the defence of international law.

Luxon being Luxon as usual, nothing to see here
