Russia intensified attacks on Ukraine's communications and logistics infrastructure, striking Kyivstar's headquarters and Vodafone's data centres in Kyiv, disrupting services for about 100,000 households. 

Moscow claims these targets support Ukrainian military communications and intelligence. Additional strikes hit Ukrainian naval bases, logistics centres, and drone warehouses, affecting civilian areas. 

Despite increased violence, Putin maintains Russia is open to peace talks but demands security for its interests. Ukraine retaliates with drone strikes on Russian energy and industrial sites, escalating the conflict beyond front lines.
