Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy ousted Prime Minister Svyrydenko and pushed for a policing revamp amid tensions. Svyrydenko acknowledged his the exit following a brief tenure. Ukraine cited latest front‑line successes as a motivation to move forward on defence and governance changes.
Zelenskyy further convened with ten countries in Paris to roll out an defensive missile umbrella for Europe. The group committed to bolster area defenses while Kyiv claims the conflict is shifting positively.
