Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine aims to significantly increase its domestic weapons production, with a goal of launching up to 600 missiles and drones daily into Russian territory. This initiative is intended to make Russians "feel the war at home," mirroring the average daily attacks Russia conducts against Ukraine. Zelenskyy also reiterated Ukraine's openness to European participation in future peace negotiations with Russia, emphasizing that such involvement should avoid simple "mediation" and past errors, given the conflict's impact on European security. He further expressed Ukraine's hope for international financial support to establish a contract-based military system, acknowledging the dangers faced by soldiers. Separately, Chinese leader Xi Jinping concluded his two-day visit to Pyongyang, where he and North Korean leaders affirmed their commitment to expanding cooperation across various sectors and deepening mutual understanding.
