The Public Prosecutor’s Office has exposed the organisers of an illegal gambling operation involving Russian and Ukrainian nationals.

Russia funded the promotion of the so-called "Kivalov-Kolesnichenko language law" of 2012, which de jure granted the Russian language the status of a regional language in Ukraine, whilst de facto bringing its status closer to that of the state language.

The authorities have decided to allocate 600 million hryvnias in state funding to a united news telethon without holding a tender. Each hour of airtime costs almost 170,000 hryvnias.

A fire is still burning at the Russian "Gorky" oil pumping station, which was struck by Security Service drones on the night of 23 April in the Nizhny Novgorod region of the Russian Federation.

Systematic air and missile strikes by Russian forces on crossings over the Oskil River have significantly hampered logistical support for Ukrainian Defense Forces units in the Kupiansk area.

Two people were killed and a further 14 injured in a night-time drone attack on Odesa. Residential buildings have been damaged, and clean-up operations are ongoing.

Russian forces are actively attempting to infiltrate Kostiantynivka in the Donetsk region, deploying large numbers of infantry.

There have been fatalities as a result of the Russian attack on Dnipro. The number of casualties has also risen.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that the European Union has unblocked a €90 billion loan for Ukraine.

Drones belonging to the SSU’s "Alpha" Special Operations Centre attacked the "Gorky" oil pumping station in the Nizhny Novgorod region of the Russian Federation.
