  • Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has arrived in Singapore to address the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit.

  • Estonia’s prime minister Kaja Kallas has said that there is “no Plan B for a Russian victory, because then we would stop focusing on Plan A”, helping Ukraine push back the Russian invasion.
