In the so-called “LNR,” the occupiers are trying to continue registration for the updated all-Russian military-patriotic game “Zarnitsa 2.0,” as the number of people willing to join militarized training has decreased more than threefold. While last year 13,000 participants were expected, now only about 4,000 are projected. Participants, with the youngest required to be seven years old, are to be trained in UAV piloting, as well as sapper and assault skills.
In the occupied Luhansk region, Russian authorities also plan to develop so-called “military-patriotic tourism.” Budget funds are intended to be allocated to routes tied to Russian propaganda, particularly in Luhansk — to locations used by the occupiers to justify the 2014 invasion.

Chernivtsi oblast
During the enemy attack, 11 UAVs violated the airspace over Chernivtsi oblast. 2 of them were eliminated by air defense forces, and another 7 left the oblast. As a result of hitting 2 enemy drones, a fire broke out on the territory of a power supply facility and 17 settlements in Khotyn and Rukshyn territorial communities were temporarily cut off from power. There were no deaths or injuries. All specialized services promptly arrived at the scene of the attack. Power engineers will begin work on restoring power supply as soon as security conditions allow.
International support of Ukraine in the russian-Ukrainian war (russia’s invasion of Ukraine)
The EU is transferring €1.4bn in proceeds from frozen russian assets to Ukraine. This is the 4th such tranche (the previous €1.6bn was sent in August 2025). It covers revenues accumulated from Rosactives in the 2nd half of 2025. The funds will be used to maintain essential public services and support the army.
Ukraine has received $1.3bn from Japan: the funds will be directed to social spending. This is the second tranche from Tokyo, which is financed under the Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine mechanism of the G7 countries. Its total volume is $50bn.
