Breaking news from Kryvyi Rih overshadows today’s update after a Russian drone attack struck the Sunny Gallery shopping center, with casualties reported and evidence of a second strike as people were already on the scene. The attack comes as Ukraine continues its own long-range campaign against Russian military and energy infrastructure. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

President Zelenskyy reports Ukrainian strikes on a Su-34 aircraft, the Perm oil refinery roughly 1,600 kilometers from Ukraine, and Marinovka airfield in Russia’s Volgograd region. I also break down Russia’s largest oil refineries and how extensively Ukraine’s campaign has reached into that critical sector.

We then look south toward Moldova, where the Tabaki border crossing has been damaged and closed, and east toward Russia’s growing military cooperation with North Korea. Ukrainian military intelligence reports thousands of North Korean personnel in Russia, including drone operators and missile specialists, as Moscow and Pyongyang deepen their wartime partnership.
