"Ukrainian long-range drones hit an oil pumping station in Russia's Chuvashia region, causing a fire and forcing the suspension of operations, an official from the Ukrainian security service, the SBU, told the Reuters news agency. Russian forces had taken over three more villages in eastern Ukraine's Donetsk and Dnipro regions, amid a grinding Russian advance in the area, Russia's military said in a post on Telegram."
"Moscow and Kyiv have traded blame for attacks on the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which has forced the facility off the main power grid for the last four days. NATO has announced that it is upgrading its mission in the Baltic Sea with an air-defence frigate and other military assets deployed to the region, after several days of unidentified drone sightings at airports in Denmark and military bases."
"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has announced that officials from his country will visit the United States in the coming days for talks on major arms purchases and drone production deals. Ukraine has prepared a list of about $90bn worth of US weapons that it wants to buy. Zelenskyy also announced that Ukraine received a US-made Patriot air defence system from Israel a month ago, with two more Patriot systems expected in the coming months."
