US President Joe Biden and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who met at the White House yesterday, announced in a press statement afterwards that air aid will be sent to Gaza in cooperation with Jordan and other countries in the coming days.
“Innocent lives are in danger, children’s lives are in danger. We will not stand by until they get more help there. We must send hundreds of trucks, not just a few,” Biden said.
Following peace talks in Istanbul, Russia and Ukraine resumed airstrikes. Ukrainian drone strikes in Sochi killed two and injured 11, leading to a four-hour suspension at Sochi Airport. Russia’s defense systems shot down 39 Ukrainian drones over the Black Sea and Sea of Azov.
Meanwhile, Russian attacks on Odessa injured at least four people, targeting the Pryvoz market, and strikes in the Cherkasy region injured seven. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned the ongoing attacks despite ceasefire proposals discussed in Istanbul. The peace talks also resulted in an agreement for the exchange of military and civilian prisoners.
