16.04.2025Day of Parliament's War Vote Amid Dnipro Drone Strike
Ukraine's parliament extended martial law with only one MP voting against it, as reported by multiple outlets throughout the morning. The White House reportedly blocked a G7 statement condemning Russia's Sumy attack to preserve negotiations with Moscow, continuing the pattern of US diplomatic caution observed after the Palm Sunday massacre.

Military developments took center stage with news of Ukraine's successful ground drone trials and development of the "Bars" rocket-drone with 800km range. Zelensky later announced over 40% of weapons used at the front are now domestically produced.

The US adjusted its estimate of total aid to Ukraine from $300 billion to $100 billion, as minerals agreement negotiations showed "substantial progress." NATO surveillance operations made a historic approach to Crimea with French and British aircraft.

Evening news was dominated by a Russian drone attack on Dnipro that killed two people and injured 16, including three children.
