"Putin's Isolation Deepens as Kim Talks in Ukraine Reveal"

Former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Pavlo Klimkin dismissed the meeting between Russian President Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, stating that it signaled Russia's international isolation. Ukraine and Russia have both claimed to have shot down drones attacking them from the other party. Klimkin called on Germany to send Ukraine Taurus cruise missiles, which he believes would be a game changer in defending against Russia. Meanwhile, Ukraine reported that it downed 17 Russian drones, while Russia claimed to have destroyed several Ukrainian drones over its border regions.
