Russian strikes have plunged Kyiv into darkness as outages hit the capital, Reuters reports. The city's mayor and President Zelensky traded blame over the damage.

Ukraine claims 15 of Russia's 38 major oil refineries are now offline, according to Kyiv Post. Meanwhile, Zelensky stated Ukraine has not received $16 billion in previously agreed US aid.

Kyiv says Russia is using its own version of Starlink for military communications, as reported by Military Times. This suggests a shift in how both sides are leveraging satellite technology during the conflict.

European leaders are pushing for Kyiv to join NATO, with the Atlantic Council noting that Trump could help facilitate this, per their report. The move would signal a significant escalation in Western support.
