Editors led with President Zelensky's evening announcement that Russian drone repeaters on Belarusian territory had been disabled, a shift in the aerial threat from the north. This followed days of Ukrainian pressure and an ultimatum to Lukashenko. Earlier, attention focused on Russia's redeployment of air defense systems from regional bases to protect Moscow and the Crimean Bridge, after Ukraine destroyed 60,000 tons of ammunition near St. Petersburg.

The day also saw EU redirecting a €90 billion loan tranche from drones to budget support, and Denmark pledging 15,000 long-range artillery rounds.
