President Volodymyr Zelensky declared on Monday that Ukraine needs 25 Patriot air defense systems in order to defend its airspace and shield the entire nation from Russian missile attacks. He also requested that Western allies deploy even more F-16 airplanes as well.

Donald Trump stated that he has altered and edited his speech for the Republican National Convention (RNC) to now mostly focus on unity, rather than the flaws and poor policies of Democrat President Joe Biden.
