**Domestic Politics**
- Protests against Fedorov's dismissal continue for the third consecutive day in Kyiv and Odesa. Participants' demands focus on personnel policy rather than systemic changes in government. This indicates the limited agency of the protest movement, which reacts to individual decisions rather than forming an alternative agenda. - In Kharkiv, a youth action demanding the resignation of Syrskyi was recorded. The format (push-ups) demonstrates a low level of political seriousness and a lack of a clear program. - Odesa rallies in support of Fedorov occur parallel to opposing actions. This reflects societal fragmentation along personal lines rather than strategic issues.
**Security and Front**
- Russian glide bombs struck Kharkiv Oblast. Air defense once again showed limited capability to intercept glide bombs launched from a distance. - A massive attack on Kyiv and Kyiv Oblast resulted in casualties and fires. This confirms Russia's ability to regularly strike rear areas. - Ukrainian drones attacked an oil depot in Stavropol Krai. A fire was recorded. This format of strikes on Russian energy infrastructure remains one of the few asymmetric response tools. - Increased activity was recorded in and around Kerch. This may indicate preparation or movement of Russian forces toward Crimea.
**Economy**
- No significant economic events were recorded in the provided snapshot. Media and Telegram channels focus on security and personnel issues. - A secondary signal remains the lack of information about the consequences of strikes on Russian energy infrastructure for the Ukrainian fuel market and logistics.
**International Context**
- Poland officially stated that it does not plan to send troops to Ukraine but will maintain its role as a key logistics hub for the Coalition of the Willing. This sets the limit of Polish support—material and technical, without direct involvement. - Mentions of the "Prytula satellite" and other technical means indicate Ukraine's attempts to develop its own reconnaissance capabilities independently of Western partners.
