22:47 Zelensky, in an evening video message, said that official sources were not going to talk about Ukraine's plans: "Ukraine is returning its own and will return - Kharkiv region, Luhansk region, Donbass, Zaporozhye, Kherson region, Crimea and, of course, our entire water area of the Black and Azov Seas, from Serpentine to the Kerch Strait... Someone wants to know what our plans are? You will not hear any specifics from any really responsible person. Because this is a war. And so it is in a war. But the occupiers must know: we will drive them to border. To our border, the line of which has not changed."
22:38 Foreign Policy reporter Jack Detsch published the main theses from the closed briefing of the US Department of Defense:
- The Pentagon does not yet directly call the intensification of fighting in the Kherson region a counteroffensive - it looks like preparation;

- The United States does not see a large-scale redeployment of Russian forces from Donbass to southern Ukraine;
- The US believes that Putin's efforts to increase the size of the Russian military to 1.15 million "are unlikely to be successful."
