Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed the results of the NATO summit in Vilnius this week, thanking the governments supporting his country after the summit got off to a more tense start when Zelenskyy initially called NATO's lack of a timeline for Ukraine's membership "absurd."
Kyiv endured a third consecutive night of airstrikes from Russia, with the city's military administration reporting "massive" overnight strikes by Iranian-made Shahed drones in which at least one person was killed.
The Kremlin reacted with hostility to the outcome of the NATO summit, calling the Group of Seven countries' pledge of security guarantees for Ukraine a "very dangerous mistake" and saying it will respond with "all means and methods at our disposal."
