NATO concluded its two-day summit in Ankara, Turkey, with a pledge of $80 billion in military assistance to Ukraine through 2026. The alliance's 32 member states reaffirmed their support for Kyiv amid ongoing Russian attacks.

The commitment came as U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the United States would grant Ukraine a license to produce Patriot missile interceptors, addressing a critical need in Ukraine's air defense capabilities. 'We'll give them the right to make Patriots,' Trump said during a joint press conference with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continued their assault on Kyiv and other regions of Ukraine. A missile strike killed at least three people and wounded 14 in Kyiv alone, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. In the Nemyshlianskyi district near Kharkiv, Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported that the number of wounded from Russian attacks had risen to 34.

Zelenskyy spent much of the summit securing additional military support and drone deals with various NATO members, including Estonia, the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, Norway, Finland, and Canada. The details of these agreements were not disclosed publicly.
