General Staff: Ukraine's military hits Russian forces' concentration point in Kherson Oblast

Ukraine's imports of electricity dropped by 25% in March compared to the previous month, as the country emerges from a devastating winter brought on by Russian attacks on the energy grid.

Zelensky said Kyiv wants THAAD as part of future security guarantees, but analysts question both the system’s usefulness for Ukraine and the likelihood of it being provided.

The visit demonstrates a "new golden age" in U.S.-Hungarian relations, Hungary's Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said.

At around 9 a.m., a Russian FPV drone, guided by a Russian operator, deliberately struck a passenger bus in central Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, killing three people and injuring 16 others. Three of the wounded are in critical condition. Earlier, an 11-year-old boy was killed and five people were injured in another attack in the region, , Governor Oleksandr Hanzha reported.

A cross-party group of members of the European Parliament called for the removal of a former Kremlin interpreter from an OSCE mission set to monitor Hungary's April 12 election, a move that has been rebuked by the President of the OSCE's Parliamentary Assembly.

The latest attack comes just one week after Kyiv last launched a full-blown assault on oil terminals in the region, including the Ust-Luga port which was struck on at least five separate occasions between March 22 - 31.

Russia's Foreign Ministry issued veiled threats towards the Baltic states on April 6, following Moscow’s suggestion that Kyiv’s allies are allowing the use of their airspace to strike Russian ports in the Baltic Sea — a claim that Baltic states have repeatedly labeled as disinformation.

"If Russia is ready to stop strikes on our energy infrastructure, we will be ready to respond in kind. This proposal has been conveyed to the Russian side through the Americans," President Volodymyr Zelensky said.

Ukraine's newest missile maker aims to launch an anti-ballistic defense to compete with U.S. PAC-3s by the end of next year, Reuters reports.

The Minudobrenia plant was reportedly struck. The facility produces ammonia, ammonium nitrate, and nitric acid, which are key components of explosives and ammunition.

Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said that Ukraine has retaken 480 square kilometers and 12 settlements since late January amid heavy fighting on key front-line sectors.
