Zelenskyy announced the directive to remove disloyal elements from the SBU, confirming initial results including detentions, as posted by NOELreports. This follows his 6:30 PM UTC phone call with US President Donald Trump reported earlier today by Steppe & State. єРадар's air raid alert highlighted indicators of an imminent Russian strategic aviation operation, building on its prior warnings of Tu-95MS and Tu-160 bombers at Olenya and Engels airfields ready for potential missile strikes on Ukrainian energy and military sites, as noted in Osinttechnical reports. These developments occur amid intercepted Russian aviation communications from command posts during the prior window, per ZAHIDWTF 24/7, and ahead of tomorrow's meeting between Ukraine's NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov and US officials.
