The Ukrainian General Staff announced this morning that Ukrainian Armed Forces conducted an overnight operation causing significant damage to the Nikolskoye Oil Pumping Station on the Druzhba Pipeline in Russia’s Tambov Oblast. Hungarian officials confirmed that oil transit along the Druzhba pipeline has been halted.

The White House has shared a photo of the room where President Zelenskyy and President Trump will hold their talks. The bilateral meeting is scheduled to start at 8:15 p.m. Kyiv time, followed by a multilateral session with EU leaders at 10:00 p.m. Notably, a statue of Sir Winston Churchill will be observing the proceedings from roughly three feet away—a strikingly symbolic presence for the moment.

The Jerusalem Post reports that Hamas has accepted a U.S.-brokered ceasefire following a meeting earlier today with Qatar’s Prime Minister and senior Egyptian officials. The deal includes the release of 10 hostages in exchange for a 60-day ceasefire across the Gaza Strip and is expected to be presented to Israel later today.

Minister Alexandre de Moraes told The Washington Post: “There is absolutely no possibility of backing down even a millimeter. We will do what is right: we will receive the indictment, examine the evidence, and those who must be convicted will be convicted, and those who must be acquitted will be acquitted.”

🚨Hamas official tells Al Jazeera: The group has accepted the mediators’ proposal for a deal with Israel.

Russian state-run media outlets are circulating footage today that allegedly shows a GAZ-71 near the frontline in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Oblast, displaying both Russian and American flags.

U.S. President Donald J. Trump wrote in a Truth Social post earlier today that the remaining hostages in Gaza will be freed only once Hamas is “confronted and destroyed!!!” He added, “The sooner this happens, the greater the chances of success will be.” Trump then went on to highlight several of his accomplishments since taking office in January.

Abolfazl Shekarchi, spokesman for Iran’s Armed Forces, on Israel: On Israeli threats: “They have made such threats before—but what was the result during the 12-day war? Critical and strategic sites—military, security, research, and others—were reduced to rubble, and the Zionists were forced to endure the bitter taste of defeat. If they attempt such actions again, the consequences will be even harsher, and their losses far greater.” On the Resistance and its independence: “The fighters of the Resistance will press forward until ultimate victory is achieved—the liberation of Jerusalem and Palestine—and the enemies are consigned to the dustbin of history. The course chosen by the Zionists will ultimately bring about their own destruction. Neither the United States nor the Zionists have ever overcome the Resistance—and they never will; their dream of victory will follow them to the grave. The Resistance is not just a movement but an idea and a conviction—one that no weapon can destroy. The courageous and steadfast fighters of the Resistance across the region, including Hamas—an independent organization—require no orders from others. The Islamic Republic of Iran stands firmly in support of the Resistance.”

Zelenskyy provided details of his meeting with Kellogg, stating: “Russia can only be compelled into peace through strength—and President Trump possesses that strength. We must take the right steps to make sure this peace is genuine.”

Putin, speaking about Trump, said: “When President Trump claims that if he had been president at the time, there would have been no war… I can confirm that this would indeed have been the case.”
