Ukrainian media prominently featured widespread Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv and surrounding areas, leading to casualties, including fatalities and injuries, along with power outages throughout the early morning. This continued from previous days' focus on the resignation of Andriy Yermak following corruption raids, though his situation and alleged front-line deployment were still mentioned by some outlets.
Later in the day, the focus shifted to Ukraine's counter-actions, specifically SBU drones striking Russian "shadow fleet" oil tankers in the Black Sea. Concurrently, discussions emerged about changes to Ukraine's defense plan and the appointment of a new delegation, led by Umerov, for peace negotiations in the US. By late evening, renewed Russian drone attacks on Vyshhorod in the Kyiv region again dominated headlines, reporting fires and destruction.
