At an EU summit in Brussels, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy welcomed fresh US and EU sanctions as essential pressure on Moscow and pressed leaders for long‑range weapons, stronger air defenses, and funding. The US targeted Russia’s two biggest oil firms, and the EU approved a 19th package that bans Russian LNG imports. Ukraine reported five civilians shot by Russian soldiers in Donetsk and said two journalists from a state‑funded TV channel were killed by a Lancet drone in Kramatorsk. Off‑site power was restored to the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant after a month‑long outage.
