Editors opened with Zelensky's phone call with Trump, who saw a 'real prospect' to end the war, and plans to continue talks at the NATO summit. By mid-morning, the focus shifted to Ukraine's overnight strike on the Hvardiiske airbase in Crimea and logistics bridges, reported by the General Staff. In the afternoon, attention turned to Russia's weekly barrage: 2,200 drones and 1,730 guided bombs, per Zelensky. Two grenade attacks on police in Odesa region by a deserter and a draft evader were also covered. By evening, the dominant story was Zelensky's warning, based on intelligence, that Russia is preparing a new massive strike, with specific dates mentioned. This echoed previous days' patterns of large-scale Russian attacks and Ukrainian counterstrikes.
