Overview
- Russia said its air defences destroyed 184 Ukrainian drones overnight, largely over the Kursk and Belgorod regions, after a weekend barrage on Ukraine that killed civilians and caused power outages.
- Officials in Tyumen reported three drones neutralized at a local enterprise in West Siberia, while Ukrainian channels claimed a refinery was hit more than 2,000 kilometers from the front, a claim not independently verified.
- Ukrainian attacks on refineries are contributing to fuel strains inside Russia, with multiple plants damaged, regional shortages and higher pump prices reported, and industry tallies pointing to notable production losses.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky said 549 Russian weapon systems used in recent strikes contained 102,785 foreign‑made components, announced new Ukrainian sanctions, and pressed partners to cut off these supply chains.
- Policy discussion intensified as President Donald Trump said he has largely decided on Tomahawk missile deliveries but wants Kyiv’s target plans, and a security expert urged NATO states to intercept threats over western Ukraine.
