He spoke about the situation at the front and the operation of Ukrainian troops in the Kursk and Belgorod regions of Russia. This was reported in the evening address of the head of state.
18.50 In March, more than 77 thousand hostile targets were hit and destroyed using drones of various types. This is 10% more than in February, said Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky, publishing a video of the combat work of Ukrainian UAVs.
17.08 Since the beginning of the day, 77 combat clashes have occurred on the front. Russian invaders are active in the Pokrovsky and Limansky directions. At the same time, there have been no battles in three directions yet. This was reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in an operational summary as of 16:00.
16.47 A Russian informant who spied on the ships of the Defense Forces near the Nikolaev seaport has been sentenced to 12 years in prison. The suspect was detained at his place of residence in Nikolaev in early 2024 when he returned from a reconnaissance mission.
15:28 China continues to insist that "only dialogue and negotiations are the only way out of the "Ukrainian crisis", despite the massive shelling by the Russian Federation and the killing of Ukrainian children and civilians. This was stated by the spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Lin Jian, at a briefing."
14:59 Ukraine initiated a special meeting of the OSCE Permanent Council on Tuesday, April 8, in the context of the Russian missile attack on Kryvyi Rih. This was reported by the Permanent Representative of Ukraine to the International Organizations in Vienna Yuriy Vitrenko.
"At the request of Ukraine, in response to the bloody Russian missile attack against children and adults in Krivoy Rog, as well as the escalation of Russian terror against civilians throughout Ukraine, tomorrow (08.04) the OSCE is convening an emergency special session of the Permanent Council," he wrote on Facebook.
14:30 Soldiers from the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense destroyed Russian tactical-level drones in the skies over eastern Ukraine.
The Wings' specialized unit carried out successful operations to destroy drones in the air.
The video released by the military shows the moment of the destruction of enemy UAVs in the skies over the Zaporizhia and Donetsk regions, in particular, in the Pokrovsk direction.
Eight enemy drones were destroyed:
Zala – two units;
Supercam – five units;
Orlan – one unit.
13:33 A Russian serviceman who committed a war crime in the form of sexual violence against a 13-year-old girl in the temporarily occupied Mykolaiv region has been identified and has been placed on suspicion. This was reported by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
13:30 The Security Service has exposed new arsonists who, on instructions from Russia, were operating in the northern and central regions of Ukraine. The youngest of the suspects was only 12 years old, the oldest was 16. All of them were local schoolchildren and students who were "hooked" by Russian special services while looking for "easy money" on Telegram channels.
After drawing minors into subversive activities, the occupiers "aimed" them at destroying Ukrzaliznytsia relay cabinets. To commit arson, the defendants used flammable mixtures and then recorded the burning of damaged objects on video.
12:59 The Ministry of Defense has codified and approved for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine the Ukrainian-made ground robotic complex D-21-12R. This was reported by the Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment.
The robot can perform a wide range of tasks on surveillance, patrolling, fire support for our units, and the destruction of enemy manpower and lightly armored vehicles.
12:54 The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has prepared a bill on demobilization. However, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not support the document. This was reported by Ukrainska Pravda on Monday, April 7.
"The bill on dismissal from service and rotation of fighters during martial law is already ready, representatives of the Ministry of Defense reported in response to a request from UP back in late January 2025. However, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine did not support the document, so officials did not register it in parliament," the article says.
It is noted that if the Verkhovna Rada adopts this bill, a significant number of military personnel will have to be demobilized at once, which will lead to a significant reduction in the staffing of combat units. According to several interlocutors of UP in parliament, we are talking about 108 thousand soldiers, including 14 thousand officers.
Key provisions of the "demobilization" bill of the Ministry of Defense.
12:49 Russians continue to build a large landing ship in the occupied Crimea. This was reported by the spokesman for the Ukrainian Navy Dmitry Pletenchuk on the air of Espresso.
We are talking about the universal landing ship Ivan Rogov. Its construction has not yet been completed, and it is still unclear whether the ship will be put into operation at all.

"President Trump is right: it's time to end this bloodshed. We should be concerned about the soldiers who are dying every day in the trenches in Ukraine and Russia.
