The day's editorial focus culminated in the appointment of Olga Stefanishyna as Ukraine's new ambassador to the USA, a significant diplomatic move widely reported across sources in the afternoon. This occurred as Ukrainian officials Yermak and Umerov prepared to discuss security guarantees with President Trump's team, a continuation of ongoing diplomatic efforts that also saw Trump reportedly convince Hungary's Orban to lift his veto on Ukraine's EU accession. Earlier, Ukrainian media extensively covered massive Russian strikes on energy infrastructure in Poltava and Sumy, causing significant damage. Additionally, new government decrees allowing men aged 18-22 and female local council deputies to travel abroad gained prominence. Reports of intense frontline clashes persisted, alongside worsening water conditions in Donbas, including supply cuts and the Kakhovka reservoir becoming a battle zone.
