Editors opened with Zelensky's dismissal of Fedorov and Syrskyi, citing no time for talks, and a UK technology transfer. By morning, focus shifted to Ukraine's deep drone strikes on Russian maritime and fuel infrastructure, while Russia attacked civilian ships in Mykolaiv. The death toll from the previous day's strike on a Kyiv arms expo rose to 11. In the afternoon, a strike on a Chernihiv supermarket was attributed to an elite Russian unit, and Zelensky arrived in the UK for talks with new PM Burnham, securing electronic warfare tech for drones. Evening reports highlighted a UN Security Council session on rising civilian casualties, a dispute over US sanctions, and protests for Fedorov. The day's editorial arc moved from internal dismissals to external strikes and diplomatic gains.
