Kyiv:Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Ukraine did not receive an early warning from its partners regarding the overnight Russian strikes on the capital, Kyiv. In a post on the social media platform X, Zelenskyy claimed that Russia used over 100 different weapons, including ballistic missiles, targeting civilian infrastructure.

According to Anadolu Agency, Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of early warnings for saving lives, noting that intelligence on Russian missile launches is crucial. He highlighted that early warnings could prevent casualties during such attacks.

Commenting on a ceasefire related to energy infrastructure, announced by US President Donald Trump, Zelenskyy reported that Ukraine has refrained from striking Russian oil refineries or energy sectors since the announcement. However, he noted that Russia continued its attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities and critical infrastructure.

Zelenskyy reiterated Ukraine's willingness to take reciprocal steps towards de-escalation but stressed the need for effective pressure on Russia. He argued that global pressure on Russia could facilitate peace, but any support for Russia or delays in assisting Ukraine would hinder peace efforts.

The Kyiv City Military Administration reported that one person was injured in a strike affecting a residential building in Kyiv's Darnytskyi district. Ukraine claimed to have downed 88 out of 108 drones launched by Russia overnight. Additionally, the country's Air Force reported that Russia launched five Iskander-M/S-400 ballistic missiles from the Bryansk region.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, speaking at the Warsaw Security Forum in Poland, confirmed ongoing intelligence cooperation with the US. He acknowledged a delay in the air raid alert due to the specific type of weaponry used by Russia. The Financial Times reported that US envoys had discussed with Ukrainian officials the possibility of halting intelligence sharing if Ukraine continued energy strikes in Russia.
