Russia’s Ministry of Defence claimed its forces captured the village of Pleshchiivka in the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine. There was no immediate reaction from Ukraine on this claim.
The Russian Defence Ministry had earlier announced the capture of one village in the Dnipropetrovsk region and two in the northeastern Kharkiv region, near the Russian border.
Two internally-displaced people were reportedly killed in a Ukrainian drone attack on a Russian-occupied part of the Kherson region in southern Ukraine, according to the Russian-installed regional governor, Vladimir Saldo.
Three people were killed and five others injured following an explosion at an industrial plant related to weapons production in the southwest Russian city of Sterlitamak, as stated by Radiy Khabirov, the governor of Bashkortostan.
The chief of the United Nations nuclear watchdog, Rafael Grossi, announced that repairs have begun on damaged power lines at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant . Authorities had warned that a four-week power outage at the plant endangered the safety of the Russian-controlled facility, which requires power to keep reactors cool and prevent a meltdown.
Austria’s Federal Ministry for European and International Affairs announced its support for the European Union’s decision to impose new sanctions against Russia, which require a unanimous vote. This decision had been delayed due to Vienna’s earlier opposition.
Ukrainians expressed disappointment that the United States may not provide Kyiv with long-range Tomahawk missiles, following Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy meeting with US President Donald Trump in Washington, DC, on Friday.
Exiled Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya urged President Trump to increase support for democracy in Belarus, emphasizing that a free Belarus aligns with Washington’s interests.
