Ukraine prepares for renewed use of upgraded GLSDBs while accusing Russia of obstructing peace efforts.
- The U.S. has agreed to resume shipments of Ground-Launched Small Diameter Bombs (GLSDBs) to Ukraine after upgrades to counter Russian jamming.
- The GLSDBs, with a range of 100 miles, were developed to disrupt Russian supply lines and are expected to reenter the battlefield shortly.
- Ukraine's supply of similar long-range Army Tactical Missile Systems (ATACMS) has reportedly been depleted, increasing reliance on GLSDBs.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Russia for rejecting a U.S.-backed 30-day ceasefire proposal, accusing Moscow of prolonging the war.
- Russian air defenses intercepted Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow, with one drone damaging a residential building.
