Ukrainian forces claim to have repelled attacks in the Kharkiv region, but the enemy is regrouping. Russian air defenses have downed multiple Ukrainian drones near Moscow, causing temporary flight suspensions. Ukraine has secured an agreement with the Netherlands and Denmark to receive F-16 fighter jets, while also discussing obtaining Gripen fighter jets from Sweden.
