Overnight, Russia launched a combined missile and drone attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region. Donetsk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Kherson, Chernihiv, Poltava, and Mykolaiv regions were also targeted.
At least four people have been killed, including a three-year-old boy. Eight others were injured, including another child. My deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those killed.
In Kyiv, Russian strikes hit three districts – Holosiivskyi, Obolonskyi, and Shevchenkivskyi. Businesses, warehouses, a residential building, garages, and vehicles were damaged. A warehouse caught fire.
In the Kyiv region, ten residential buildings, a business, outbuildings, and vehicles were damaged.
I thank our air defense forces, rescuers, medics, police officers, municipal workers, and everyone who protected our people overnight and is now helping those affected.

Today, together with the ministers, I presented the draft Government Action Programme at a meeting of the Coalition Council.
This is a comprehensive document that sets clear priorities and concrete tasks to guide the Government’s work.
Our key objectives are to strengthen Ukraine’s defense and resilience, support our people and businesses, and accelerate European integration.
The principles guiding our work are efficiency, swift decision-making, and accountability for results. The Government as a whole and every minister have specific tasks and will be accountable for their implementation to Parliament and Ukrainian society.
In preparing the Programme, we considered proposals from Members of Parliament. We will now incorporate the comments made during today’s Coalition Council meeting and finalize the document. It will then be approved by the Government and submitted to the Verkhovna Rada for consideration.
The Government and Parliament must work together to strengthen our country, reinforce its resilience, and advance Ukraine’s interests across every area.
I thank the committee chairs and Members of Parliament for the constructive dialogue, open exchange of views, and valuable proposals. The challenges facing our country are significant, and our response must be concrete and effective. We are working together for a common result.

As of this moment, 462 rescuers from the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and 116 pieces of specialized equipment are working across the country to deal with the aftermath of the overnight attack.
The attack on Kyiv and the Kyiv region lasted nearly nine hours, involving dozens of missiles and jet-powered drones. Residential buildings and a children’s hospital were hit. As of this moment, at least 13 people are known to have been killed. My sincere condolences to their families and loved ones. Another 40 people were injured and are receiving all necessary assistance.
In Boryspil, food warehouses and Red Cross facilities were hit. Rescuers continue to put out fires.
Civilian infrastructure in the Odesa and Chernihiv regions was also attacked overnight.
I am grateful to our military, the State Emergency Service units, medics, police officers, and everyone who is helping people right now.

Had a conversation with the new Director of the IMF’s European Department @IMFNews, Mateusz Szczurek.
We discussed the implementation of Ukraine’s IMF program, as well as preparations for a balanced 2027 budget that will meet our defence needs while supporting the economy.
We look forward to welcoming the IMF team to Kyiv next week.

This morning, here in Bucha district, I received briefings from the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Head of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine and the leadership of the regional military administration.
The rescue operation is underway. Around 400 people have been evacuated.
So far, 27 people are known to have been killed. Others have been injured. All the necessary emergency services are working at the scene.
I thank the rescuers, police officers and medics for their work and for helping people.
Law enforcement authorities are investigating the circumstances of the tragedy caused by the Russian strike. Criminal proceedings have been opened.
In the fifth year of the full-scale war, we cannot allow tragedies like the one in Vyshneve and this one in Bucha district to happen again.

Today, I met with the President to discuss two important matters.
First, at an extraordinary Cabinet meeting, we will approve funding from the state reserve fund to support and compensate people affected by the tragedy in Bucha district.
The second matter is how we adapt the work of the state, Kyiv, the economy and critical infrastructure to Russia’s changing tactics.
Earlier today, I held an expanded meeting with the Commander-in-Chief, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the State Emergency Service, the Mayor of Kyiv, and representatives of the Office of the President and the National Security and Defence Council.
We are now working on concrete measures to ensure that the country can continue to function under these new conditions.
Prolonged air raid alerts affect much more than people’s immediate safety. They disrupt businesses, logistics, public transport, schools, childcare and everyday life. Russia is trying to disrupt economic activity in Kyiv and other major cities. Our response must adapt accordingly.
We are looking at how businesses and public institutions can operate safely during different types of threats, how to keep logistics and transport moving, and how the metro and other critical infrastructure can continue to serve people. Our aim is to strengthen people’s safety while ensuring that everyday life can continue across our cities and communities.
We will also review curfew arrangements and look at how civilians can receive more timely information about air threats, while ensuring that this does not create additional security risks.
All relevant services and institutions are working together on a comprehensive and evidence-based approach. We aim to finalise the proposals at the beginning of next week, present them to the public and begin putting them into practice.
