Russians in Kupyansk have been completely cut off from supplies. A small contingent of Russians -hidden in basements- is present in the center. It will take some time, but they will eventually give up, surrender or get killed. Just like the Kucheriv Yar pocket(s).

On the Pokrovsk front, drone pilots from Ukraine’s 79th Air Assault Brigade are striking Russian targets over 21 km away. Footage shows precision hits in Hrodivka, a staging point for Russian assaults on Myrnohrad.

Germany is stepping up winter aid for Ukraine with an extra €70 million to support decentralized energy and heating. The funds will help up to 2.6 million people access heat, water, and power amid intensified Russian attacks on energy infrastructure. Equipment will include hybrid generators, pellet systems, and solar-battery units, 65% of contracts going to German firms.


The EU summit in Brussels is still deadlocked over how to fund Ukraine, with leaders and aides locked in closed-door talks deep into the evening. The key issue: how to unlock a €210 billion loan, with Belgium and Italy resisting the plan to use frozen Russian assets held at Euroclear.

With Ukraine facing a funding cliff in April, Zelensky stressed the urgency, warning drone production will be slashed if a deal isn't reached.



❗️A draft of the EU summit conclusions now includes a detailed section on launching a reparations loan for Ukraine, backed by frozen Russian assets. However, the clause remains in brackets, meaning it’s not yet finalized and must be approved by EU leaders. The proposed mechanism could provide up to €90 billion in support from Q2 2026, but final approval hinges on ongoing negotiations.


A “Vampire” drone operator from the UAV unit of Ukraine’s 28th Mechanized Brigade caught a Russian group moving through trenches during a night patrol. Six were spotted, several precision drops followed. Only two survived, both badly wounded.


The US is preparing new sanctions against Russia, which could be announced as soon as this week, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, cited by Bloomberg.


Fight to get #Ukraine loan deal goes on as leaders task aides to break impasse

Summit in Brussels goes into the night with governments still at odds over using frozen russian assets.

Seven hours into a make-or-break summit in Brussels, national leaders and senior EU officials remained locked in a series of intense separate talks as they tried to resolve their differences over how to fund Ukraine.

An explosion and fire broke out at the “Sintez OKA” plant in Dzerzhinsk’s eastern industrial zone. This key Russian chemical facility produces materials used in explosives, rocket fuel, and other military applications.


On the Kupyansk axis, Ukraine’s 77th Air Assault Brigade spotted and destroyed a Russian field ammo depot using an FPV drone. The strike eliminated both the target and its ammunition stockpile.


Ukrainian developers have unveiled the Bullet, a jet powered interceptor drone designed to take down Shaheds, helicopters, and other low-speed aerial threats. It can hit speeds up to 450 km/h, fast enough to outrun a Shahed drone.
