Overview

• Ukraine’s General Staff recorded 176 engagements in the past day and said defenders blocked 56 assaults on the Pokrovsk axis, estimating about 970 Russian personnel losses over the previous 24 hours.
• Deputy defense minister Ivan Havryliuk said Ukraine expects additional JAS 39 Gripen, F-16 and Mirage fighters, declining to specify timing or quantities.
• Havryliuk noted the first deliveries under the NATO-linked PURL procurement channel have arrived in Ukraine, describing slower rhythms than earlier U.S. PDA aid.
• Ukraine’s own industry now covers roughly 40% of front-line needs, and President Volodymyr Zelensky convened a technological council to push maximum output in drones and missiles.
• Ukraine’s security services announced two cases: a Mykolaiv businessman detained over a plan to smuggle shipboard artillery to Russia, and an MFA adviser charged with selling Ukrainian passports to Russian nationals in 2022.
