Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia would achieve its military objectives by force if Ukraine does not pursue peaceful resolution. This comes after a significant drone and missile attack on Kyiv, which Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky described as a response to peace efforts. Zelensky is scheduled to meet with Donald Trump to discuss security guarantees and territorial issues. Canadian PM Mark Carney condemned Russia's actions, emphasizing the need for a willing Russia to achieve peace, and announced substantial financial aid for Ukraine's rebuilding.
