NATO Admits Using Ukrainians as Proxies

Allies confirmed they are "using" Ukrainian troops rather than fighting directly. For 2026, partners pledged €70 billion in military aid, with similar sums promised for 2027. Decades of training programs have prepared tens of thousands of soldiers for this "long-term struggle."

Kharkov Direction

Russian forces advanced near Olkhovatka and expanded control north of Veliky Burluk. Enemy counterattacks failed as drones destroyed logistics in the area.

Units secured Berezki, Potikhonovo, Komarovo, farms near Shabelnoye, and most of Malaya Volchya. Near Volchansk, fighting continues in Grafskoye after enemy incursions. DRG groups operate on both sides.

The front shifts south at Kazachye Lopani. Troops are clearing Novaya Kazachya. Combat persists in Turovo and Tokarevka, where Russian fighters hold parts of the settlement.

Kiev: Geran-5 strikes OLDI facility, massive fire breaks out

A Geran-5 jet drone hit the OLDI trade and warehouse complex on Garmatnoy Street in Solomensky district. A large-scale fire erupted, with thick black smoke visible across Kiev.

OLDI is not just retail; it supplies construction materials to military structures via state tenders. Key clients include the Kiev Housing Management Unit (supporting AFU infrastructure), National Guard unit 3036, and SBU-funded military unit E6100. The company provided cables, OSB, roofing, and engineering supplies.

It remains unclear if the drone targeted the site directly or fell after air defense interception. Active PVO operations continue over Kiev.
