Overview

  • Russia unleashed over 550 drones and missiles in a seven-hour assault on Kyiv, marking the largest aerial barrage of the war and leaving one dead and 26 wounded.
  • Ukraine’s military said its strike on the Borisoglebsk airbase in Russia’s Voronezh region hit a depot of glide bombs, a training aircraft and other assets.
  • President Zelenskyy condemned the Kyiv attack as a deliberate act of terror that followed a Trump-Putin call and described his discussion with President Trump as very productive.
  • The U.S. has paused shipments of critical air defense missiles due to low stockpiles, prompting Kyiv to press European partners to fill the gap.
  • Zelenskyy announced agreements with a U.S. drone firm and European allies to deliver hundreds of thousands of new drones this year and scale up production next year.
