Good morning.
Yesterday ended with a bit of a whirlwind, given the rumours about Valerii
Zaluzhnyi's imminent sacking. The commander-in-chief remains in post for now and, as always, I'm trying to focus on what Ukrainians are saying.
Zaluzhnyi is massively popular, and if there was a push to remove him, the rapid public condemnation may have led the president's office to reassess. In any case Zelensky didn't mention the armed forces chief in his nightly address.

Zelensky spoke about meetings with PM Shmyhal, drones, and strategy with European partners, including a new multilateral summit and closer work with Greece. The EU yesterday voted unanimously to support billions from frozen Russian central bank asset profits to use for Ukraine's reconstruction. There will be a summit this week that the bloc hopes will see agreement on €50 billion in funding, if Hungary can be persuaded. Last night Russian forces attacked an oil depot in Kharkiv. #Ukraine
