Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed new aid and NATO membership support but urged faster delivery and fewer restrictions on using U.S. weapons against Russia. At a NATO summit, Zelenskyy stressed the need to lift limitations to defend Ukraine effectively. President Joe Biden announced a new military aid package, reaffirming U.S. support. Zelenskyy warned that Ukraine can't win the war unless the U.S. allows broader use of its weapons. NATO leaders, including Jens Stoltenberg and Emmanuel Macron, supported Ukraine's call for more flexibility. The summit focused on Ukraine amid concerns about Chinese and North Korean support for Russia. Biden's leadership was also under scrutiny during the summit. The U.S. provided an additional Patriot missile system to bolster Ukraine's defenses. NATO declared Ukraine on an "irreversible path" to membership but stated it could only join after the war. NATO also committed to maintaining current military aid levels and launched a new program to support Ukraine's armed forces. The summit highlighted NATO's stance against China's support for Russia.

Eating higher levels of ultraprocessed food may shorten lifespans by over 10%, according to a new study of over 500,000 people followed for nearly three decades. The risk increased to 15% for men and 14% for women after data adjustments, said study lead author Erikka Loftfield from the National Cancer Institute. The top ultraprocessed foods consumed were diet and sugary soft drinks, followed by refined grains like breads and baked goods. The study, presented at the American Society for Nutrition meeting, linked high ultraprocessed food intake to higher death rates from heart disease and diabetes, but not cancer. Processed meats and soft drinks were particularly risky. The NOVA classification system, which categorizes foods by processing levels, was used in the study. Experts suggest focusing on whole foods and checking nutrition labels to limit ultraprocessed food intake.
