Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says the US has agreed to grant Ukraine a license to produce its own US Patriot missiles. Ukraine has faced a shortage of the air defense missiles, which the country relies on for intercepting Russian aerial threats. The agreement comes amid fresh Russian strikes across Ukraine, killing at least seven and injuring more than 50 people as of Friday. Russian President Vladimir Putin said Friday that proposals to pause or end the war remain on the table but that Moscow is weighing its interests.
