Ukrainian negotiators are scheduled to travel to Saudi Arabia for talks with U.S. officials to create a framework for peace. President Zelenskyy will visit Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman but will not participate directly in the negotiations. The segment disputes media reports that Trump "defended" Russian bombardments.

NBC's Richard Engel reports on Ukrainian kamikaze sea drones attacking Russian vessels in the Black Sea, including a landing ship and an oil tanker.
