UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace announced the donation of advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles (AMRAAM) to Ukraine to help intercept Russian cruise missiles and drones. Simultaneously, NATO is proceeding with its annual "Steadfast Noon" nuclear readiness exercise. Officials emphasized the routine nature of the drills, which involve nuclear-capable fighter jets but no live ordnance.

UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace was targeted by Russian pranksters posing as Ukrainian President Zelensky. During the call, the "Zelensky" character expressed a desire to restart Ukraine's nuclear program to protect against Russia. Wallace responded by stating he would need to consult with the Prime Minister but affirmed the UK's support for Ukraine's choices, revealing a lack of immediate pushback against the idea of nuclear proliferation.
