Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to the United Kingdom for discussions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in an "E3 plus Ukraine" format. This visit follows reports that President Zelenskyy had invited Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich to Kyiv last month to convey a message to Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding a potential personal meeting. Separately, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that external power was re-established at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant on Saturday after a 15-hour outage, marking the 18th such incident. Additionally, Minister Oleksii Kuleba stated that Russian forces attacked two civilian search-and-rescue vessels on a humanitarian mission within Ukraine's maritime corridor, resulting in injuries, with Ukrainian naval forces evacuating the casualties.
