A car bomb in Balashikha, Moscow, has reportedly killed Damir Davydov, a general responsible for heavy ammunition supplies for the Russian army. This incident reflects the ongoing trend of high-profile assassinations linked to the Ukraine conflict, with Ukrainian security services often being implicated. Concurrently, panic-buying of fuel has erupted in Russia's Krasnodar region due to disruptions caused by Ukrainian drone strikes on energy infrastructure, including a recent fire at an oil depot. The European Union is advancing new sanctions against Russia, aiming to ban fish imports and impose restrictions on metals and ores, while also maintaining a price cap on Russian oil until January 2027. Ursula von der Leyen confirmed the EU's intention to open negotiations for Ukraine's accession, highlighting the country's significant reforms. Additionally, Bulgaria's newly appointed defense minister announced a halt to arms supplies to Ukraine, calling for peace negotiations. Meanwhile, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov indicated that there are currently no plans for a call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, emphasizing that the EU's mediation efforts are unwelcome.
