Overview

• Ukrainian spokesman Viktor Tregubow said Russian troops have entered the Dnipropetrovsk region and that clashes are ongoing.
• Control of the villages Saporischke and Nowogeorgiiwkja remains disputed as Moscow claims seizures, Ukraine’s General Staff denies losses, and the DeepState map shows Russian occupation.
• Russian strikes have hit urban and energy targets, with reports of attacks on Dnipro and infrastructure in Poltava and an 81-year-old woman killed in separate shelling in the Kherson area, according to Ukrainian authorities.
• On the Donetsk front, earlier reporting noted a rapid Russian push near Dobropillja, while newer analysis from ZDF indicates Ukrainian counterattacks have stabilized that sector.
• A BBC-cited report says Vladimir Putin told President Donald Trump he would end the war if Ukraine ceded remaining parts of Donetsk, as EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas warns territorial concessions would be a trap.
