Ukraine: protecting the skies of Kharkiv and Sumy and the civilian populations, an absolute priority for Zelensky. The capture of Avdiivka in February constitutes Russia's biggest victory on the battlefield since the capture of Bakhmut in May 2023.

This Friday morning, the Russian army said it had neutralized 53 drones in several regions. In total, 53 were shot down or intercepted, including 44 over the Rostov region (south), according to the same source.
