21:38 German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius opposed German instructors training Ukrainian soldiers on Ukrainian territory: “The added value, which I don’t see, is not commensurate with the risk and effort that will have to be put in, so this is not an option for us.”
20:29 Zelensky said in an evening video message that today he heard reports from the Commander-in-Chief, the Chief of the General Staff and the Minister of Defense on the situation at the front: “Attention to all directions, and especially Pokrovsky and Kurakhovsky in the Donetsk region, as well as Kupyansky and other directions in the Kharkiv region. We are also preparing for further activity of the enemy - we clearly understand what tasks and for what purpose Putin sets his army. “We will answer him.”
In addition, according to the president, Ukraine is preparing “diplomatic responses to Russian attempts to weaken the Peace Summit: Russia will no longer be able to disrupt the summit, although it is trying very hard to do this. It puts pressure on the leaders and openly threatens various states with destabilization.” Zelensky added that the summit has already been supported by about a hundred states and international organizations.

The picture shows 12 new hangars, which provide shelter for front-line Su-24 bombers and Su-34 fighter-bombers.
According to experts, the Russians expect the hangars to protect aircraft from attack drones, as well as from ATACMS ballistic missile submunitions.
