Ukraine's effective defense against Russian ballistic missiles using Patriot interceptors has diminished due to depleted supplies, with interception rates falling from over 70% to none. This situation is exacerbated by a global shortage of Patriot missiles, driven by increased demand from both Ukraine and recent Iranian missile launches, leaving Kyiv vulnerable to ongoing Russian strikes on its infrastructure.

In the Clacton byelection, pro-European candidate John Stevens of the Rejoin EU party is running a professional campaign against Nigel Farage, while the novelty candidate Count Binface is also on the ballot. Many Clacton voters express hostility towards Farage and believe Brexit has failed, but are uncomfortable using a joke candidate as a protest vote, suggesting pro-European hopes pinned on Binface may be misplaced.
