Ukraine has deployed its new domestically-produced Flamingo cruise missiles in strikes against Russian targets in occupied Crimea and Zaporizhzhia, marking significant escalation in indigenous weapons capability. Meanwhile, President Zelenskyy has delegated decision-making authority to field commanders regarding Pokrovsk's defense, stating troops will not be forced to die for ruins as Russian forces continue their assault on the strategically important eastern city that remains contested despite intense fighting and deteriorating conditions.
