Ukraine Vows Strikes Inside Russia After Massive Drone Attack. Ukraine is preparing to strike deep into Russian territory after a major drone assault left 60,000 Ukrainians without electricity. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the move after meeting with military leaders, signaling a new escalation phase. An overnight Russian attack hit four energy facilities in Ukraine's Odesa region, with Chornomorsk taking the worst damage. Around 29,000 residents in Odesa lost power, and one person was injured. Critical infrastructure is operating on generators. Ukraine claims it intercepted 132 of 142 Russian drones, while Russia stated it downed 112 Ukrainian drones in the last 24 hours. The Kremlin blamed Europe for extending the conflict, criticizing the EU's military support to Ukraine amid increased attacks. Recent Russian strikes in Kyiv killed at least 23 people and damaged EU diplomatic offices, raising international concerns. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz warned the war will likely continue and stressed peace must not come at Ukraine's expense. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen visited the Poland-Belarus border, pledging more support for regional security. The Institute for the Study of War said Russia has exaggerated recent battlefield gains and overstated captured territory.
