European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen visited Kyiv on Ukraine’s Statehood Day, pledging continued military and financial support and announcing plans to integrate European and Ukrainian defence industries. 
This marks von der Leyen's eleventh wartime visit to Kyiv, underscoring Europe's commitment to Ukraine and its efforts to bolster the nation's air defences for the upcoming winter. 
The visit coincided with a regional security summit in Kyiv, attended by senior officials from southeastern European countries, including Serbia's President Aleksandar Vucic. 
Ukrainian officials reported that recent Russian aerial attacks killed at least eight civilians and injured eleven across the Sumy, Odesa, and Chernihiv regions. 
Meanwhile, Russia's Defence Ministry claimed to have intercepted 93 Ukrainian drones overnight over various Russian regions, Crimea, and the Black Sea.
