In the Samaryvskiy district of Dnipropetrovsk region, there were child victims.

Russian officials reported shooting down numerous drones. Ukrainian forces reported engaging and destroying dozens of aerial targets. Analysts note the continuing high intensity of such attacks.

NATO and European concerns about Russian threats were discussed, as well as increased military personnel in Europe and new decisions on defense spending. Remarks from the US, Turkey, China, and the role of Donald Trump in future talks were highlighted. Turkey expressed readiness to host a new round of negotiations.

The analytical segment covered mobilization approaches in Ukraine and Russia, demographic and economic challenges, the impact of sanctions against Russia, prospects for a truce, Western pressure, negotiation formats, and the influence of lead international players (the US, China, Turkey).

Audience questions concerned mobilization, government actions, economic prospects, possibilities of a truce, and political change. The stream ended with an appeal to support independent information resources and the channel.
