US Vice President JD Vance has expressed the United States' commitment to achieving lasting peace in Ukraine following a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Munich. Vance highlighted that they had a productive discussion and are planning to hold further talks. President Zelenskyy has shown his readiness for negotiations, expressing a willingness to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin once a joint plan with Trump is in place. The Ukrainian air force has reported that Russia has deployed drones to target various areas in Ukraine, including an assault on the containment cover at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. This incident raised safety concerns; however, radiation levels remained within normal limits. European allies have underscored their interest in participating in discussions that impact continental security.
