Ukraine receives another $2 billion tranche from EU's Ukraine Facility, PM Shmyhal says

Ukraine struck the Russian city of Belgorod and a neighboring district with "a massive missile attack" overnight, causing power outages, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov claimed on Feb. 27.

Prime Minister Yuliia Svyrydenko welcomed the IMF decision, saying that, "It is very important for us that in the fifth year of full-scale war, amidst systematic attacks on the energy sector, Ukraine has guaranteed international financial support from partners and resources for the stable functioning of the state."

Ukraine did not just attack a NATO member this week — despite efforts by some to frame its strike on a Russian oil hub that way.

Ukrainian delegates met U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Geneva as part of the ongoing efforts to broker a peace with Moscow, Ukraine's top negotiator, Rustem Umerov, announced on Feb. 26.

The drone hit a tree around 3 p.m. local time in Kyivskyi district on Feb. 25. No casualties were reported, the regional prosecutor's office said.

Russia launched a combined missile and drone attack across Ukraine early on Feb. 26, targeting Kyiv and other cities and causing damage to residential buildings and civilian infrastructure.

"Law enforcement investigators, together with representatives of Ukrainian expert institutions, will take all necessary measures aimed at identifying the repatriated deceased," the Coordination Headquarters said.
