Russian forces carried out a deadly drone attack near the Kyiv-Odesa highway, resulting in three fatalities and multiple injuries. The strike, which occurred near Chaban, also caused vehicles to burn near a gas station. This attack is part of a broader series of Russian strikes that also hit energy infrastructure in western and Rivne regions, leading to power outages and damage to residential buildings.
Separately, a mobilized soldier died in Lviv after an alleged beating at a military recruitment center, prompting an investigation by the State Bureau of Investigation. In military affairs, Serhiy Biletskyi has been reassigned to command the 'Center' operational-strategic grouping of forces.
Other significant domestic developments include the destruction of a datacenter belonging to Data Group, a major Ukrainian telecom operator, and discussions around legalizing cryptocurrency to access funds from the 'Ukraine Facility' program. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also held 'constructive' talks with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio concerning Starlink availability, intelligence data, and interceptors.
