In a significant escalation of the ongoing conflict, Russia and Ukraine have intensified their military operations, one month after a meeting between US President Donald Trump and their leaders. NATO has responded to the situation by deploying more forces to Eastern Europe, following accusations that Russia has violated the airspace of a member state. Ukraine has been subjected to some of the largest drone strikes seen during the war, while it has also launched attacks on Russian energy facilities in retaliation. The current state of diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the conflict remains unclear, with little progress reported.
