Ukrainian SBU security service sources tell Financial Times the agency is conducting "a large-scale special operation to destroy enemy bomber aircraft" deep inside Russia. "SBU drones are targeting aircraft that bomb Ukrainian cities every night. At this point, more than 40 aircraft have reportedly been hit." Video footage filmed by a Ukrainian reconnaissance aircraft and shared by the official appeared to show Russia’s Belaya airfield, located in south-eastern Siberia some 5,500km east of the frontline, in flames.

Ukrainian long-range attack drones have struck a logistics center near Moscow belonging to Wildberries — an online retailer and e-commerce marketplace similar to Amazon. A senior Ukrainian official tells me this attack was retaliation for the Russian strikes on the facilities of Nova Poshta, Ukraine’s private postal service.

This destroyed section of the building was the second apartment I lived in during my time in Bakhmut. My bedroom and window would be right where the rubble meets the still-standing wall. It was owned by my friends who left behind nearly everything when they fled, and it was home for a while back in 2011-12 for me. As this recent video filmed by Russian occupiers shows, there's little left of Peace Street.

Zelenskyy tonight calls what Trump earlier today claimed to be an agreement a “proposal”, confirming our Financial Times reporting that there is so far no deal between Ukraine and Russia — “There is currently a strong proposal from the United States regarding a mutual cessation of strikes on critical infrastructure. And if this can become the first de-escalation step – a step to stop Russian strikes on our critical infrastructure and our retaliatory strikes – then Ukraine is ready to support de-escalation.” Zelenskyy continued in his evening address: “We see that the Russians are feeling tension due to our precision strikes on the Russian war economy. And so far, no one has seen a genuine desire from Russia to move towards ending the war. But if American partners manage to ensure Russia's real readiness to stop this war of annihilation and do so truthfully and in the long term, Ukraine will take its de-escalation steps.” He added: “We are waiting for specifics from our partners.”

Good morning from Kyiv. Thousands of Ukrainians are turning out for another rare wartime public protest — a year after the last one — demanding that President Zelenskyy reappoint popular defense minister Mykahilo Fedorov. Ukraine’s parliament is scheduled to begin voting in a new government at 10:30am local time, beginning with a vote to appoint Sergii Koretskyi as the new prime minister. The rest of the cabinet, if things go to plan, should begin around 1:30pm local time.

Russian forces occupying the destroyed city of Bakhmut, eastern Ukraine, where I used to live posted a video this week. It shows the very city center in ruins. I passed this central square every day for two years between 2010-12 and lived just in the building on the right. The square was filled with roses. The city used to bustle with people. After one of the longest and bloodiest battles of Russia’s invasion, it can’t sustain life.

One of the more bizarre aspects of the Andriy Yermak corruption case saga spilled out in court yesterday and today. Zelenskyy's powerful former chief of staff had a "fortune teller" who he knew as "Veronika Feng Shui." Her name is Veronika Anikievich, a Kyiv resident, according to public records. According to her social media – much of which she appears to have now deleted – she was a big supporter of Yermak. According to Ukraine's Special Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's office, Yermak sought advice from Veronika about several cabinet officials, including many still in office. He also asked the fortune teller about anti-corruption officials, politicians and journalists who he did not like. She advises him to get rid of his enemies while he has the protection of the president, according to prosecutors reading aloud texts between the two in court.

Ukraine's SBU security service says its Sea Baby naval drones today struck another Russian “shadow fleet” tanker in the Black Sea. Video from an SBU source purports to show the oil tanker "Dashan" being hit by the attack drone and explosions in the stern area. "The vessel, flying the flag of the Comoros, was moving in the exclusive economic zone of Ukraine towards the Novorossiysk port terminal. It was moving at maximum speed with its transponder turned off." The SBU says the tanker "suffered critical damage." The attack was a joint operation with the Ukrainian Navy.

Zelensky tonight: “I will have meetings with representatives of President Trump, as well as with our European partners, with many leaders about the foundation of peace - a political agreement on ending the war. The chance is significant now… We are working to ensure that peace for Ukraine is worthy and that there is a guarantee – a guarantee, first of all, that Russia will not return to Ukraine with a third invasion.”
