Overnight attention stayed in Washington after Trump signed Graham's sanctions law targeting buyers of Russian oil, followed by State Department approval of nearly $2.7bn in air-defence sales to Ukraine.
Morning coverage turned to near-continuous drone attacks on Kyiv region and a mass strike on Odesa infrastructure that left power cuts, with repeated air alerts in Kyiv itself.
By midday Zelensky answered with a new interceptor drone claimed to have downed jet-powered Shaheds twice in a day, alongside approval of new long-range operations.
Afternoon reports shifted to a Russian strike that destroyed a shopping centre in Dnipro, wounding four. Evening leads focused on Kyiv region, where a strike killed a woman and two children and wounded another mother and child, as officials counted 188 battles along the front.
