- Russian officials reportedly sought approval for strikes against Zelensky and other Ukrainian leaders.
- Ukraine reportedly sent more than 500 drones at Russian strategic targets.
- Zelensky said the US raised a possible Donbas-for-NATO-membership arrangement.

## Summary

Russian officials have reportedly urged Vladimir Putin to authorise attacks aimed at killing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other leaders, following Ukraine’s strikes on strategic sites inside Russia. The account describes this as an end to an unofficial restraint, but provides no independent confirmation that Putin has made such a decision.

Ukraine reportedly launched more than 500 drones overnight at Russian energy and industrial targets, including power plants in Rostov, a bridge used in military supply routes and a major petrochemical facility in Tatarstan. Fires were reported at two plants; four people were injured and a chief engineer was killed at one site. Zelensky also said the United States had asked whether Ukraine might leave Donbas in exchange for NATO membership.
