Zelensky gave an interview to a British journalist, Netanyahu flew to Washington: main news of the night.

The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky gave an interview to British journalist Piers Morgan, where he expressed his views on the situation in Eastern Ukraine. He emphasized that Ukraine cannot regain full control over all its territories at this Time, considering the large number of casualties. Zelensky also noted that support from partners is insufficient to expel Russia from the occupied territories. After the state of martial law ends, elections will take place, as Ukraine defends democracy. The President also expressed his belief that US President Donald Trump wishes for a successful resolution of the conflict, which will be a guarantee of security for Ukraine. However, if necessary to achieve peace, Zelensky is ready for negotiations with Vladimir Putin.

The President also reported that as a result of the war, 45,100 Ukrainian fighters have died, and 390,000 have been injured.

US President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House to discuss a ceasefire in Gaza. This was the Prime Minister's first foreign visit to the US President since his inauguration. The meeting took place in the context of the beginning of negotiations for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. There is less than a month left to reach an agreement, which will include the release of hostages, cessation of hostilities, and Israel's withdrawal from Gaza.

Trump expressed the idea of relocating Palestinians from Gaza to other countries and called on Jordan, Egypt, and other Arab states to accept them. He believes this is the only way for Palestinians to help rebuild the Gaza Strip after a prolonged war with Hamas.

Trump also announced that the US will take control of the Gaza Strip after the relocation of Palestinians. They will be responsible for dismantling dangerous munitions and creating thousands of new jobs for regional development.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supported Donald Trump and expressed his gratitude to him. He called him the best friend of Israel and noted his unconventional thinking and initiatives in the Middle East.
