The victory plan of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is aimed at forcing Russia to negotiate on Kyiv's terms, according to RBC-Ukraine article “Peace plan and end of war? Is West pushing Ukraine to negotiations and how Zelenskyy will respond”.

Russia said it was working to repel a Ukrainian drone attack on Toropets, where there's a major military depot, as explosions lit up the night.

Ukrainian drones have struck a large military depot in a town deep inside Russia overnight, causing a huge blaze and prompting the evacuation of residents.
