Ukraine’s Defense & Military Developments (1/2)
> President Volodymyr Zelensky appointed Brigadier General Hennadii Shapovalov as Commander of the Ground Forces, tasking him with accelerating counter-offensive planning and tightening frontline logistics.

> A Ukrainian long-range drone strike ignited fuel wagons at a key rail junction in Russia’s Rostov region, halting traffic for hours and disrupting military resupply to the southern front.

> Air-force Su-27s and Su-24Ms pummeled Russian positions near Chasiv Yar and the Millerovo air base, starting secondary explosions that local media described as “continuous for ten minutes.”

> Artillery of the 44th Brigade destroyed three Russian Msta-B howitzers and downed two Orlan-10 reconnaissance drones, reducing enemy indirect-fire pressure on Kramatorsk.

> Engineers debuted a fibre-optic-guided FPV drone with double the previous combat radius, enabling Ukrainian units to hit targets 26 km behind Russian lines without jamming losses.
