French farmers began blocking roads in 80 departments, particularly targeting the A10 and N118 in Île-de-France. The FNSEA announced 82 planned actions while Senator Retailleau warned of "zero tolerance" for prolonged blockades. From Argentina, Macron reinforced opposition to the Mercosur trade agreement.
By evening, the US authorized Ukraine to use ATACMS long-range missiles against targets in Russian territory, marking a shift in policy that had been anticipated since last week's defense meetings. The authorization allows strikes on logistics and command centers in occupied territories.
