Zelenskyy announces Ukraine's counter-offensive actions in ongoing conflict with Russia.

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy confirmed that counteroffensive and defensive actions are taking place against Russian forces, while Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau pledged $375 million in new military aid and $7.5 million for humanitarian assistance for the flood response. Heavy battles are ongoing in Ukraine's industrial east, with Russian forces defending themselves and launching air and artillery strikes. The Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, occupied by Russian forces, announced the cold shutdown of its last reactor due to lower water levels and shelling near the site. At least four civilians have died across the country as Russian forces launched Iranian-made Shahed drones, missiles, and artillery and mortar strikes.
