The day began with continued widespread Russian air attacks across Ukraine, particularly on Odesa, causing further casualties and destruction, a direct continuation of assaults reported the previous evening. President Zelensky later confirmed the scale, citing hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles. Media also noted the US House of Representatives' approval of extended military aid for Ukraine, reinforcing a consistent theme from prior days. As the day progressed, a new diplomatic initiative emerged: President Zelensky announced that the newly appointed National Security and Defense Council Secretary had proposed negotiations with Russia for the upcoming week, indicating a potential shift in diplomatic engagement following recent government changes. However, the evening's editorial focus decisively shifted to Oleksandr Usyk's knockout victory over Dubois, securing his title as undisputed world heavyweight boxing champion, a major national sports achievement prominently highlighted across all major news outlets.
