In an effort to support businesses, Kiev will shorten its wartime curfew hours.
According to Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv municipal administration, the wartime curfew in the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv will be shortened by one hour in the evenings.
In the near future, the curfew will begin at midnight rather than 11:00 p.m. According to Popko, this will give more time for public transportation and help alleviate social tension and create new jobs.
From the start of the war, residents of Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine have been subject to regional curfews. They remain outside after the authorized times must pay penalties and answer questions from police patrolling the streets.

UK asks China to tell Putin to withdraw troops from Ukraine while Xi is in China
As Chinese Premier Xi Jinping visits Russia next week, the UK is urging China to request that Vladimir Putin get his troops out of Ukraine.

According to sources, Slovakia’s government approved a plan to deliver its Soviet-era MiG fighters to Ukraine. The jets were decommissioned last summer and are in varied degrees of readiness. Therefor, they will probably require extensive maintenance to remain operable.
Poland said it would provide Kyiv with four of its jets. One day after, the NATO member from Eastern Europe stated it would send 13 of the jets to Ukraine. In order to defend its skies from Russian strikes and counter Russian operations, Ukraine has long asked for fighter jets.

Russian and Wagner Group forces are gaining ground in Bakhmut, but the overall offensive is slowing
In recent days, Russian and Wagner Group forces have gained footholds west of the Bakhmutka River in the heart of the contested Donbas town of Bakhmut. The river had marked the front line for the previous week. The Ukrainian Armed Forces continue to defend the town’s west, according to the ministry said on Twitter.
In addition, there are more broadly across the front line. And Russia is performing some of the lowest rates of local offensive action that have been observed since at least January 2023.
This is probably because Russian forces have temporarily depleted the combat power of the deployed formations to such an extent that even local offensive actions are not currently sustainable. And Russian leaders will likely seek to regenerate the offensive potential once personnel and munition stocks are replenished.
The war situation in Russia and Ukraine is still at peak and attracts huge concerns of international community.
