Overview
- The General Staff said Friday that Ukrainian long‑range strikes damaged the Moscow oil refinery and hit rail bridges near Rozdolne and Vladyslavivka in occupied Crimea to disrupt fuel and troop resupply.
- Ukrainian forces are sustaining heavy combat across multiple sectors with the General Staff reporting up to 248 engagements in a 24‑hour period and the fiercest fighting on the Pokrovsk and Huliaipole directions.
- Command reports say Russia is relying on mass kamikaze drone attacks, with daily figures in recent briefings reaching into the thousands of systems and thousands of strikes on towns and positions.
- Ukraine’s security services and prosecutors have opened criminal cases and announced charges against people accused of torturing prisoners and collaborating with occupiers, including a jailed National Guard soldier and an alleged prison official from Luhansk.
- EU leaders at the June summit agreed unanimous conclusions to deepen political, financial and military support for Ukraine, a response shaped by recent strikes on civilian infrastructure and cultural sites that have increased urgency for air defenses, fuel resilience and winter preparation.
