03.10.2026 ⇢ The Day Russia Struck Kyiv's North Bridge
⌨
Overnight coverage noted the Financial Times report that the EU would withhold accelerated funding for 2026 until Ukraine completed promised reforms, framing aid as cash in exchange for anti-corruption steps.
By morning the focus shifted to a new Russian air assault on Kyiv. Ballistic missiles and drones killed one person, then a Russian jet-powered drone struck the Pivnichnyi Bridge, damaging the roadway, halting traffic to the right bank and injuring two. Outlets cited the New York Times on a looming logistical nightmare if Dnipro crossings are cut, while officials announced pontoon ferries from next week and plans for a tunnel under the river.
In the evening President Zelensky vowed intensified strikes on Russian refineries, claimed hits in Samara and Bryansk, and said the Moscow-range FP-9 ballistic missile would be ready this autumn, as monitors warned of a prepared Russian strike and the General Staff reported 183 front-line clashes.
