The day was dominated by a massive Russian combined air assault using Shahed drones and missiles, described as one of the largest since the start of the war. In the morning, Zelensky warned of over a hundred drones, and by midday, Ukraine's intelligence reported a new combined attack targeting critical infrastructure. The assault continued into the evening, with Zelensky stating Russia had launched 800 drones and warning of possible missile launches. Civilians were killed in Rivne and Ivano-Frankivsk, and railway infrastructure was hit. The attack was linked by DeepState to the cost of a temporary ceasefire. Meanwhile, Trump arrived in China, and the US Congress took a step toward allocating $1.3 billion in new aid to Ukraine.
