Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, has replaced the secretary of Ukraine's national security council, Oleksiy Danilov, with Oleksandr Lytvynenko, 51, head of the foreign intelligence service.
Ukraine's government is flooding money into its defence industry, budgeting nearly $1.4bn in 2024 to develop weapons at home — 20 times more than before Russia's full-scale invasion, the Associated Press has reported.
There are about 200 companies in Ukraine now focused on drones, delivering 50 times more of them in December compared with a year earlier, according to Mykhailo Fedorov, the minister of digital transformation.
In Kharkiv and parts of the south-eastern Zaporizhzhia region, 200,000 people remained without electricity after last Friday's attacks on the country's energy infrastructure. Emergency power outages have also reportedly been introduced in Ukraine's Black Sea port city of Odesa.

— The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack in a statement posted on affiliated channels on social media.
CBS: This is the most deadly terror attack in Russia in years. The country was shaken by a series of deadly terror attacks in the early 2000s during the fighting with separatists in the Russian province of Chechnya.
In October 2002, Chechen militants took about 800 people hostage at a Moscow theater. Two days later, Russian special forces stormed the building, and 129 hostages and 41 Chechen fighters died, most of them from the effects of narcotic gas Russian forces used to subdue the attackers.
— And in September 2004, about 30 Chechen militants seized a school in Beslan in southern Russia, taking hundreds of hostages. The siege ended in a bloodbath two days later and more than 330 people, about half of them children, were killed.
