Overview

• At the OSCE forum in Vienna, Russian delegate Yulia Zhdanova accused "collective Brussels" of exploiting Poland’s drone claims to pressure Russia and labeled NATO’s Eastern Sentry reinforcement plan a dangerous escalation.
• Poland’s prime minister said the downed drones were Russian, but Russian officials say Warsaw has shown no proof and note the Defense Ministry offered consultations after stating no Polish targets were planned during strikes on Ukraine.
• Belgorod’s governor reported more than 110 Ukrainian UAVs targeted the Russian border region in the past day, with one person killed in Shebekino and several injuries and infrastructure damage across multiple districts.
• Russia’s military leadership said forces are destroying Ukrainian units south of the Kleban-Byk reservoir, while pro-Russian sources reported control of airspace over western Mala Tokmachka and strikes on facilities in Sumy and Donetsk regions.
• Ukraine’s Radio Svoboda published new evidence linking members of Russia’s 234th regiment to a 2022 killing in Bucha, and Russia’s FSB in Novosibirsk said it issued a formal warning to a 23-year-old resident over alleged attempts to contact a Ukrainian group.
