The man was detained "red-handed" while conducting additional reconnaissance near an electrical substation that supplies power to a regional hospital and several units of the Defense Forces. The attacker planned to set fire to this power facility.

The agent turned out to be a 30-year-old local unemployed man who was looking for "quick money" in Telegram channels.

9:44 Russia does not have the ability to seize the entire Kherson, Zaporizhia and Donetsk regions by military means, so it seeks to achieve its goals diplomatically, using political pressure and negotiations. This is reported by the Institute for the Study of War in its daily report.

03:15 Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni said that the most effective security guarantees for Ukraine are its membership in NATO. She noted that such guarantees "must be implemented in the context of the Atlantic Alliance." According to her, other solutions on security guarantees "seem to me more difficult and, frankly, less effective."

02:00 British Prime Minister Keir Starmer repeated his call for security guarantees from the United States for Ukraine to prevent a repeat invasion by Russia - he said this before a meeting with US President Donald Trump.
