The U.S. State Department has approved the possible sale of Patriot air defense launchers to Ukraine worth up to $105 million.

It comes amid reports the US and Russia have prepared a 28-point peace plan, allegedly containing major concessions for Ukraine.

Ukraine said it had successfully struck targets in Russia using U.S.-supplied ATACMS missiles, ending a months-long absence of the powerful weapon from the battlefield. In a statement shared on Facebook, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called it "an iconic event that emphasizes Ukraine's unwavering devotion to its sovereignty."

Ukrainian officials say a missile and drone attack killed dozens, right as the U.S. Army secretary arrived to push for peace talks.

Ukraine hasn't previously stated openly that it uses the advanced U.S.-provided ballistic missile systems on targets inside Russia.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump's Special Envoy for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, has told associates he plans to leave the administration in January, four sources told Reuters, a departure that would mean the loss of a key advocate for Ukraine in the Trump administration.

But it is vital to understand what this scandal means—and what it does not. First, the graft it reveals is not new. Ukraine, though far less corrupt than Vladimir Putin’s Russia, has a long pre- and post-Soviet history of sleaze.

Ukraine has asked the Vatican to formalize its role facilitating negotiations for the return of Ukrainian children and civilians taken by Russia during the war.
