The day began with Ukrainian media coverage of US President Trump's statements regarding his confidence in ending the war, planned talks with Putin, and meetings with European leaders, continuing a focus on international diplomatic efforts. Amidst this, reports emerged of Ukrainian forces liberating 58 square kilometers of territory in August and taking control of Zarichne in Donetsk. However, a significant shift in focus occurred later in the day, with news of Russia attacking a power plant in the Kyiv region. This culminated in President Zelensky's evening warning that Russians were concentrating strikes against the country's energy infrastructure, prompting enhanced air defense measures. Throughout the day, intense combat was consistently reported on the front lines, particularly in the Pokrovsk sector, indicating ongoing military pressure.
