Vitali Klitschko has declared he will resist any effort to oust him as mayor of the capital. The statement follows President Zelenskyy's announcement of a new cabinet intended to bolster central authority over the city, a move that suggests the long-standing tension between the presidency and the mayor's office is nearing a confrontation.
Russian forces used 176 drones in a large-scale attack on a thermal power plant, forcing the station to cease generation. The strike left more than 500,000 people without electricity across several regions; in Volyn, over 100,000 families lost power and the regional capital, Lutsk, saw its water supply partially cut. A separate drone hit a residential building in Zhytomyr, injuring nine people.
Police in Zhytomyr have arrested a woman suspected of helping the FSB poison soldiers, an attack that reportedly killed two. On the financial front, President Zelenskyy has signed tax laws required to unlock new tranches of funding from the EU and the IMF, bringing the treasury closer to its next installment of international support.
