Ukrainian strikes hit Russian regions as Trump cautions on missile secrets

Ukrainian drone strikes targeted several Russian regions, including areas near Moscow, Belgorod, Crimea, and Gelendzhik, resulting in civilian casualties. Concurrently, Russian bombardments continued across Kyiv, Dnipro, and Kherson, where Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russian forces of targeting civilians with drones. Zelensky also affirmed that Ukrainian troops would not voluntarily retreat from the Donbas.

In international developments, former U.S. President Donald Trump expressed caution regarding proposed transfers of Patriot missile technology to Ukraine, stating, "We must be careful about who we give our weapon secrets to." Meanwhile, an Italian naval vessel intercepted and boarded a Russian shadow fleet oil tanker off the coast of Pantelleria.
