Ukraine’s prime minister has announced his resignation. The move possibly marks the start of a major government reshuffle.

President Trump has effectively handed Vladimir Putin an extraordinary green light: 50 days to finish off his brutal summer offensive in Ukraine before facing any consequences.

Ukraine's air force said Russia targeted several regions overnight with 267 drones, of which around 200 were Shahed attack drones and the rest decoys. The air force said it shot down or otherwise suppressed 244 drones. Twenty-three drones impacted across seven locations, with falling debris reported in nine locations, the air force said.

President Donald Trump’s ultimatum to Russia to accept a peace deal in Ukraine within 50 days or face bruising sanctions has given the Kremlin extra time to pursue its summer offensive.

Russia has rejected President Trump's "ultimatum" for Moscow to sign a ceasefire deal to end the war in Ukraine within 50 days on Tuesday as "unacceptable," calling for continued negotiations and insisting that the invasion ordered by President Vladimir Putin would continue until its goals are achieved.

Russia launched four missiles and 136 drones into Ukraine overnight into Monday morning, according to Ukraine's air force.

Trump’s U-Turn seems partly the result of European leaders, Rutte especially, who worked hard to develop common ground with the U.S. President. It also seems to be the result of growing irritation with Putin. Trump said Monday that Putin talks “so beautifully” when it comes to a ceasefire but “then he’ll bomb people at night. We don’t like that.”

Maj. Oleh Shyriaiev, Commander of Ukraine’s 225th Separate Assault Battalion, told Breaking Defense that Washington opening up deep strikes into Russia gives Ukraine a "chance" at victory.

German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius is set to meet with US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington on Monday to discuss further support for Ukraine and military cooperation within NATO. The visit - Pistorius' first since US President Donald Trump took office in January - is likely to focus on the delivery of further air defence systems to Ukraine,
