Russia stated it intercepted roughly a dozen Ukrainian drones targeting Moscow and the border areas of Kursk and Bryansk overnight.
Ukraine’s Armed Forces reported that a strike on a southern Russian oil depot disrupted supplies to Russian troops stationed in occupied Ukrainian territories.
On the diplomatic front, Russia’s foreign intelligence accused Serbia of selling arms to Ukraine, claiming the weapons were channeled through companies based in the Czech Republic and Bulgaria both NATO and EU members, unlike Serbia.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy visited the United Kingdom on Monday, where he held discussions with Prime Minister Keir Starmer in London and later met King Charles III at Windsor Castle.
Zelenskyy is expected to attend a NATO summit beginning Tuesday in The Hague. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte reaffirmed the alliance’s consistent support for Ukraine.
During the visit, Zelenskyy and Starmer finalized an agreement to jointly develop long-range drones. These advanced systems will be capable of targeting sites inside Russia. The UK government stated that frontline data from Ukraine will be integrated into British manufacturing, enabling domestic defense firms to swiftly design and produce next-generation military hardware unavailable elsewhere.
