The Russian Ministry of Defence said its forces had taken control of the settlement of Novohryhorivka in Ukraine’s Zaporizhia region.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his nightly address that his country's forces had killed thousands of Russian soldiers in the Dobropillia region of eastern Ukraine since August 21, when they launched a counteroffensive against Moscow's occupying troops.
Zelenskyy also said Ukraine's attacks on Russia's oil facilities had degraded them to an extent that the country was experiencing energy shortages.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said recent drone incidents and other airspace violations show Europe is facing hybrid warfare to which it must respond with measures that go beyond traditional defences. Von der Leyen said it was clear Russia's aim was to "sow division" and "weaken support for Ukraine", and that Europe could "either shy away and watch Russian threats escalate, or meet them with unity, deterrence and resolve".
