Russia Shifts to Air Interdiction in Donetsk as Zelensky Reshuffles Security Leadership

Russian forces are replicating a 2025 battlefield air interdiction campaign to isolate Ukrainian logistics in the Donetsk Fortress Belt, specifically targeting Slovyansk and Kramatorsk. While Russian ground advances remain slow, they are intensifying glide bomb strikes and drone attacks on bridges and railways. President Zelensky appointed Rustem Umerov as head of the Foreign Intelligence Service and dismissed the US ambassador. Ukrainian forces continue deep strikes on Russian energy and logistics hubs, including Wildberries warehouses and oil refineries, while DeepState analysts report a net Russian territorial gain of 36 square kilometers in July.

Ukraine’s Drone Pioneer Faces Ouster in Zelenskyy’s Cabinet Shake-Up

Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is expected to remove defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov—an architect of the wartime drone program and defence-tech push—in a broad cabinet reshuffle designed to refresh his government as the war enters a new phase. Fedorov’s startup-style leadership and anti-corruption stance earned support but also clash with traditional military leaders and procurement interests; his fate (stay, move, or exit) remains undecided as Zelenskyy readies his new government and a reshaped strategy for the conflict.

Zelenskyy overhauls Ukraine’s cabinet in fresh wartime shake-up

President Zelenskyy announced a broad cabinet overhaul, dismissing prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko and naming Naftogaz chief Sergii Koretskyi as a leading replacement as part of a renewed political strategy; other candidates include Denys Shmyhal and Mykhailo Fedorov, with Svyrydenko potentially moving to a Kyiv–Washington ambassador post, as Kyiv seeks stronger governance and faster progress in defence and diplomacy during the war.

Tymoshenko Named in Probe Over Alleged Ukrainian Vote-Buying Scheme

Former Ukrainian prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko has been served a suspicion notice by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine over allegations she headed a systematic vote-buying scheme in parliament. A raid on her Kyiv office and a video that appears to show a Tymoshenko look‑alike offering cash to MPs, plus chat transcripts, underscore a widening probe that also involves lawmakers from President Zelenskyy’s party. Tymoshenko denies the charges as political and says the office search was a PR stunt; the case adds to ongoing tensions in Ukraine’s wartime politics and anti-corruption investigations.
