Ukraine marked its 35th Independence Day with a military display that included unmanned ground vehicles on Kyiv's streets and drones over the Dnipro River. The event highlighted the country's growing reliance on autonomous technologies since Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022. The display featured robots patrolling central Kyiv, naval drones operating on the Dnipro, and UAVs flying above the capital, demonstrating how technology has reshaped modern warfare.
UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham visited Kyiv to share secret Storm Shadow missile blueprints, aiming to boost Ukraine's weapon production. Russia responded with threats, warning of "consequences" for the UK's support. Meanwhile, European leaders acknowledged the ongoing Russian invasion, emphasizing continued solidarity with Ukraine.
Protesters in Canada continue to gather outside the Russian embassy in Ottawa, showing support for Ukraine. A British citizen was reported killed in a drone strike, underscoring the risks faced by individuals involved in the conflict. The UK's military aid, including missile technology, remains a key point of contention between Moscow and Western allies.
