A new Russian drone strike on Kyiv has tragically killed a child and injured several others after hitting a high-rise building. This attack comes amidst a broader wave of Russian aggression, with new strikes also reported in Zaporizhzhia, leaving two injured and damaging a hospital, and in the Odesa region, resulting in two fatalities and two injuries. Nighttime attacks in the Kyiv region caused a fire at an enterprise and damaged various properties, while explosions were reported in Khmelnytskyi, leading to new power outages across six regions. Meanwhile, a grim report from the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky reveals a deepening humanitarian crisis, with residents reportedly eating grass and euthanizing their dogs due to severe food shortages, and bodies being stored in a hospital basement. On the domestic front, anti-corruption efforts continue with former MP Serhiy Pashynskyi agreeing to a plea deal to pay 1.1 billion hryvnias in a case concerning seized petroleum products. An appeal court also lifted a ban, allowing the publication of an investigation into properties linked to the brother of Oleksii Sukhachov, Director of the State Bureau of Investigation. Separately, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy addressed the international community following the massive attacks, emphasizing the inability to passively endure the situation. In a positive development, Ukraine secured its first gold medal at the 2026 European Boxing Championship.
