Meanwhile, Ukraine reported liberating 300 square kilometers in the south. Tensions escalated as Slovakia threatened to halt electricity supplies to Ukraine over oil transit disputes, and Hungary vowed to block a €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine until Russian oil transit resumes. Poland announced plans to secure its eastern border with landmines, and the Russian FSB declared Telegram a security risk, raising fears of a potential ban.
