What was reported
A plain summary of this topic, built from the channels that covered it.
Sky News and BBC ONE West reported that Ukraine faced continued Russian attacks and uncertainty over US support. Sky News reported that UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting met US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth in Washington and said he was reassured that Ukraine's access to the Starlink satellite communication system had been restored. Sky News described the meeting as awkward and said there was no meeting of minds on Ukraine, reporting that Streeting warned against appeasement and called Ukraine the frontline for freedom. BBC ONE West reported that the war was entering a new phase that it characterised as dangerous, with Ukraine under round-the-clock attack from Russian jet-powered drones and running out of air defences. It reported deaths and injuries in Kharkiv and Sumy on the morning of the broadcast, an attack on a supermarket in Odesa the previous day, power loss in Lutsk overnight, and attacks on Lviv. Both channels reported that President Zelensky was in Brussels for an EU summit and thanked European leaders, and both noted tensions between Zelensky and President Trump. BBC ONE West reported that officials had told Reuters a political decision in Washington slowed Ukraine's military satellite network, while the administration denied such a request by the President. Sky News reported that EU leaders reiterated support for Ukraine and that European support could not fully replace US military and intelligence assistance. BBC ONE West also reported a Financial Times account of a US proposal on frozen Russian assets and European resistance to it.
