After 1140 days of war in Ukraine, where "we are getting closer more or less" to a ceasefire agreement for peace talks, according to Donald Trump, each side reports their advances on the ground and resumes reports on drone launches and interceptions.
Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski confirmed last night that the Ukrainian Army was positioned in the Russian region of Belgorod, bordering Ukraine, with the aim of protecting the Ukrainian region of Kharkiv.
In nearby Kursk, Russia claims to have retaken the city of Guyevo, one of the last occupied by Ukraine. Kiev's forces have reportedly been completely expelled, now only controlling two border towns in the region due to the Russian counteroffensive.
Russia's air defense claimed to have intercepted and destroyed 23 Ukrainian drones last night over the border regions of Kursk and Belgorod. Meanwhile, Kiev accuses Moscow of launching 46 drones and a ballistic missile.
Meanwhile, the President of United States expressed his discontent because the Russians are "bombing like crazy" in Ukraine but believes that meetings in Washington with Russia and Ukraine, each separately, are bringing the parties closer to a ceasefire agreement.
