Amidst US trade pressure, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met and signed "many agreements." Meanwhile, the US reportedly wants Europe to take over the majority of NATO's conventional defense capabilities by 2027, threatening to reduce its participation in defense coordination if the deadline isn't met. In Ukraine, Russian drone strikes killed a 12-year-old boy in the Dnipropetrovsk region, while Ukrainian drones targeted a port in Russia's Krasnodar region, causing a fire and damaging infrastructure. Ukrainian drones also reportedly attacked the city of Syzran on the Volga river. The Russian defense ministry claimed to have intercepted 85 Ukrainian drones.
