Zelenskyy welcomes leaders from 7 countries for a regional summit

Zelenskyy said the summit will expand cooperation on security, energy and logistics as Russian strikes killed and injured civilians overnight, officials said.

  • On Friday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hosted the inaugural Carpathian Eight summit in Ivano-Frankivsk to deepen regional cooperation among eight nations and the European Union.
  • The Carpathian Eight brings together Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Austria, and Hungary as U.S.-mediated efforts to end Russia's 4 1/2-year invasion remain stalled over territorial concessions.
  • Russian strikes overnight killed two people in the Zhytomyr region and injured one in Zaporizhzhia, while forces hit a logistics facility 6 kilometers northwest of Odesa and a bulk carrier in Chornomorsk.
  • The Russian Defense Ministry reported air defenses destroyed 629 Ukrainian drones over 14 regions on Friday, while Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said most of the more than 350 drones targeting Moscow were destroyed before reaching the city.
  • Zelenskyy wrote on Telegram the summit was a "significant beginning" of a movement to strengthen ties, with participating nations working together on security, energy, logistics, and cross-border economic cooperation.
