Russian President Vladimir Putin is aiming to show that the isolation the West is seeking to impose on his country is not working, and intends to make his first official visit outside Russia since the invasion of Ukraine began. Putin intends to visit Tajikistan and Turkmenistan, and discuss mainly issues of economic cooperation.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zalansky is expected to speak today (Monday) against the G7 powers, against the backdrop of increased Western military aid to Ukraine in recent weeks and a series of defeats suffered by the Ukrainian army in the Donbass region.

During the night, US military sources told CNN that the US intends to purchase advanced anti-aircraft and missile systems, which will significantly increase Ukraine's air defense range, and hand them over to Kyiv.
Sources said it would take time to train the Ukrainians in operating the new systems.
The U.S. is also expected to announce the transfer of $ 450 million worth of weapons to Kyiv. The transfer is expected to include the addition of thousands of shells to US artillery already supplied to Kiev, as well as radar systems to detect artillery fire.
