The Guardian's Ukraine war briefing marks day 1,725 of the invasion, led by Zelenskyy's complaint that Starshield speed restrictions remain along the entire front line, hampering drone interception and, he says, sending Russia a bad signal on occupied land. It also reports a Russian drone attack on a Kyiv hospital that injured three, car bombs in Moscow and St Petersburg that killed a senior military official, Russia's revived hardline European security demands, and Kaja Kallas's warning against walking into Russia's traps.
