NATO allies reaffirmed their support for Ukraine during the virtual meeting, emphasizing that Russia's actions would not deter their commitment.
In a separate incident, Russian forces shelled the city of Sumy, resulting in two fatalities, with ongoing rescue operations at the site. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that further casualties may be under the rubble, following a rocket attack that also damaged a nearby nursery.
In the Donetsk region, Russian troops continue to advance towards towns such as Kurakhovo and Pokrovsk, with reports of increased military activity and challenges faced by Ukrainian forces in maintaining their positions.
In Pakistan, protests erupted in Islamabad demanding the release of former Prime Minister Imran Khan. Clashes with security forces resulted in at least six deaths and numerous injuries. Khan, currently imprisoned, urged his supporters to persist in their demonstrations until their demands were met.
