Russia warns: 'European forces in Ukraine legitimate targets'. Raids on energy networks: one million households without electricity
More than one million families in the Dnipropetrovsk region of central Ukraine were reportedly left without water and electricity after overnight Russian attacks on the country's energy infrastructure. This was stated on social media by Oleksy Kuleba, Deputy Prime Minister for Reconstruction of Ukraine
Russia rejects Franco-British plans for a multinational force on Ukrainian territory after a ceasefire. The deployment of European soldiers in the country will be seen as 'foreign intervention' and 'a direct threat' to Russia, which will therefore target them as 'legitimate military targets', warns Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova.
Commenting for the first time on the results of the summit held in Paris on Tuesday, Moscow believes that the 'new militaristic statements' of the Coalition of the Willing and the government in Kiev show that these countries form 'a true axis of war'.
Zelensky meanwhile announces that the document on American security guarantees is 'practically ready' to be viewed and endorsed by Trump.
During the night, meanwhile, Russia attacked Ukraine with 97 drones, 77 of which were shot down by the Ukrainian Air Defence Forces, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Rbc Ukraine writes this. Russian troops attacked energy infrastructure with attack drones and missiles in the Dnipropetrovsk and Zaporizhzhia regions, which were completely without electricity.
Residents were urged to stock up on water in advance and centres were set up to provide assistance and support. All city hospitals in Dnipro were powered by generators and schools extended their holidays by two days. The power outage caused disruptions in suburban and passenger rail traffic in Dnipro and Zaporizhia.
