Zelensky: Russia hit Kyiv with 70+ missiles and nearly 500 drones overnight; 13 dead.
Zelensky says Russia launched over 70 missiles โ nearly half of them ballistic โ and almost 500 strike drones including jet-powered Shaheds against Ukraine overnight, with the main blow directed at Kyiv.
Thirteen people were killed and more than 90 wounded.
Damage was recorded at over 20 locations across the capital, mostly ordinary residential buildings, along with an ambulance station, a scientific institute, a hotel, and businesses. Strikes also hit Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia, and Cherkasy regions.
Ukrainian air defenses intercepted a significant number of the incoming weapons, but not all.
Zelensky called air defense "an absolutely primary and critical issue," urged partners to contribute to the PURL program, and said he is counting on a US decision on Patriot licenses and joint anti-ballistic production โ "this is what can stop the war and attacks like these."

Germany's Chancellor Merz:
We can no longer accept the extraordinarily high levels of sick leave in our companies.
We are abolishing sick leave by telephone and introducing the requirement to submit a medical certificate from the very first day of illness.
We know this is a tough decision. But we can no longer afford this competitive disadvantage caused by prolonged absences from work.

U.S. Ambassador to NATO Matthew Whitaker:
We certainly do not support the protectionist language that oftentimes many of the European defense initiatives have included that would cut out allies, not just the United States, but all non-EU allies, including Tรผrkiye and others.
That's one area that may come up during the summit.

Data protection has itself become a bureaucratic monster.
We are now making it leaner, simplifying the rules and simplifying data protection itself.
We are generally abolishing all reporting obligations to public authorities.
The number of company compliance officers will also be significantly reduced.
Whatever is not regulated by EU regulations, we will leave alone.
