The US announced a $2.2 billion aid package for Ukraine including long-range rockets for HIMARS launchers. Meanwhile, former UK Defense Minister Sir Gerald Howarth suggested that NATO must consider putting "boots on the ground" to prevent a stalemate. Russian missile strikes continue to target civilian infrastructure in eastern cities like Kramatorsk.

A missile strike on a train station in Kramatorsk killed over 50 people, with Ukraine and Russia trading blame for the attack. CNBC's coverage featured a missile fragment with "for the children" spray-painted on it and a blood-soaked toy horse, which critics labeled as "trauma-based mind control." Discrepancies in the report, such as the status of train service versus bus evacuations, are highlighted as potential propaganda.
