  • Zelenskyy told Axios that the president privately supported Ukrainian responses against Russian energy infrastructure, drone factories, and missile sites.
  • Ukraine’s leader warned Moscow to expect regular counterstrikes while stressing that civilians are not targets.
  • British editorials urged Europe to increase military aid and relax limits on the use of supplied weapons, citing options such as Germany providing Taurus missiles and enabling deeper strikes on refineries.
