Kremlin says Russia called off a drone attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure
MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia had suspended its attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure after a phone call between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump and had shot down its own Ukraine-bound drones while they were in the air. Putin agreed in a call with Trump on Tuesday to temporarily stop attacking Ukrainian energy facilities, but declined to endorse a full 30-day ceasefire sought by the U.S. president. Ukraine has accused Russia of striking its energy infrastructure overnight anyway. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russia had called off a drone attack on Ukrainian energy infrastructure targets and had shot down seven of its own drones. "They were just lining up in combat order, six of them were shot down by 'Pantsirs' (a surface-to-air missile system) and another one was destroyed by a (Russian) military aircraft," Peskov said. Peskov in turn accused Ukraine of not respecting the 30-day moratorium on striking each other's energy infrastructure and said it had tried to attack Russian energy infrastructure overnight. "Unfortunately, we see that so far there has been no reciprocity on the part of the Kyiv side. There have been attempts to strike at our energy infrastructure facilities," Peskov said. "We are watching closely to see whether Kyiv heeds the firm commitment of the Russian and U.S. presidents to do everything possible to move towards a peaceful settlement." The Russian military earlier on Wednesday accused Ukraine of trying to sabotage the temporary moratorium on striking each other's energy infrastructure with a deliberate drone attack on an oil depot in southern Russia. Asked if Russia would abide by its promise to suspend strikes on Ukrainian energy infrastructure, Peskov suggested it would. "The president has not given any other orders (to the contrary)," said Peskov.

France steps in to provide military intelligence to Ukraine as the U.S. freezes vital information
PARIS (AP) — France is providing military intelligence to Ukraine after Washington announced it was freezing the sharing of information with Kyiv, French defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu said Thursday. The U.S. said Wednesday it had paused its intelligence sharing with Ukraine, cutting off the flow of vital information that has helped the war-torn nation target Russian invaders, but Trump administration officials have said that positive talks between Washington and Kyiv mean it may only be a short suspension. American intelligence is vital for Ukraine to track Russian troop movements and select targets. See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories.

'Our intelligence is sovereign,' Lecornu said. 'We have intelligence that we allow Ukraine to benefit from.' Lecornu added that following the US decision to suspend all military aid to Ukraine, French President Emmanuel Macron asked him to 'accelerate the various French aid packages' to make up for the lack of American assistance. Lecornu said that in the wake of the U.S. decision, shipments of Ukraine-bound aid departing from Poland had been suspended, adding however that 'Ukrainians, unfortunately, have learned to fight this war for three years now and know how to stockpile.'
