Missile Shortage & Kyiv Toll: Russia hit Kyiv and surrounding areas with a major ballistic missile and drone barrage, killing at least 17 and wounding dozens; Zelenskyy said air defenses failed largely because interceptor supplies are down to about a third of 2025 levels, and he again pressed partners for more Patriot-type interceptors. NATO/UK Push: Zelenskyy met NATO chief Mark Rutte and UK Defence Secretary Wes Streeting in Kyiv, coordinating efforts to speed interceptor deliveries and discussing possible joint production and sanctions tied to Russia’s missile industry. EU Funding From Frozen Assets: The EU transferred another €1.4bn from profits on immobilized Russian central bank assets to support Ukraine, with most routed through the loan mechanism. Resilience Plan: Ukraine’s NSDC approved Kyiv’s Capital Resilience Plan, with implementation already underway—shelters, energy, heating, water, and air-defense protection ahead of fall-winter. Drone War Hits Russia’s “Amazon”: Ukraine’s drone campaign again targeted Wildberries warehouses inside Russia, raising pressure on Moscow’s logistics and consumer supply chains. Security Scare in Germany: Explosive-laden drones were found near a Ukrainian Antonov aircraft at Leipzig/Halle airport, prompting investigations and NATO awareness. North Korea Escalation: Ukraine’s intelligence says North Korea has begun deploying a missile unit in western Russia, signaling deeper missile cooperation with Moscow.
