17:42 The war could again expand beyond the eastern and southern borders of Ukraine if Russia continues to increase weapons production and improve technologically with the help of its allies, and assistance to Ukraine from its partners decreases, said the commander of the Joint Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Sergei Naev, in an interview with ABC News.
“We understand that there is now a war of resources. The Russian Federation receives its resources with the help of the “axis of evil” - this is North Korea, Iran. And we, with the help of our partners, receiving air defense systems from them, are opposing the Russian Federation with their resources. We must understand "that cutting aid will really hit our defense capability. But we will fight with what we have," Naev emphasized.

11:18 A group of “large countries” of the European Union is seeking a relaxation of the 12th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, Bloomberg writes, citing sources. The agency does not name the countries themselves. It is known that we are talking about restrictions that will prohibit the purchase of some key goods, such as semiconductors, through third-party intermediary companies.
