Ukraine has received the first batch of F-16 fighter jets, with NATO allies pledging to provide over 60 more. However, Ukraine requires 130 jets to counter Russian air power.

President Zelenskyy acknowledges the challenge of striking Russia due to hesitancy from allies and the upcoming US election. Russia has gained 200 square kilometers in eastern Ukraine, and Ukraine seeks China's support in pressuring Russia.

Meanwhile, China has announced restrictions on civilian drone exports. In response to its financial crisis, Ukraine has invoked a law to skip $20 billion debt payments.

While Slovakia's pro-Russian PM threatens to halt diesel supplies, Ukraine dismisses any energy threat. Zelenskyy attributes Russian gains in the east to restrictions on Ukraine's use of Western weapons by its allies.
