Poland will give Ukraine missiles for its F-16 fighter jets, a deputy defense minister said. The weapons are designed to shoot down jet-powered drones. The aid package will also include aviation equipment, and Ukraine says it needs these missiles now to defend its skies [1].

The announcement came as the US House of Representatives passed its first major sanctions on Russian oil in two years. The bill now needs only one signature to become law [4].

In Brussels, the European Union (EU) pledged an additional €3.3 billion in support. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen promised more aid is coming [4].

Meanwhile, Russia struck Kyiv's water system. Ukraine reported that none of the incoming missiles were intercepted. Ukraine hit back at two Russian S-400 launchers in the Bryansk region. Those same launchers had bombed Kyiv hours earlier [4].
