Key European defence ministers meet in Paris to discuss Ukraine support
Is the war entering a new phase? Defence ministers of key European countries are meeting in the French capital to discuss military support for Ukraine amid continuing Russia-Ukraine attacks. A Russian strike on Ukraine's southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia injured four people on Monday morning, according to regional Governor Mykhailo Semikin, while a Ukrainian drone attack on Russia's Voronezh killed two people and wounded 17, regional Governor Alexander Gusev said. The Russian Ministry of Defence also claimed its forces hit a power station in Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, as well as a nearby warehouse, and a power station in the Khmelnytskyi region. The ministry said Russian forces also targeted port infrastructure in Chornomorsk in southwestern Ukraine, and a cargo vessel en route to Odesa, which it claimed was being used for military purposes. Meanwhile, officials say that many of those wounded in the Ukrainian drone attack on Voronezh were passengers on a commuter train hit by falling debris.

Digital Agency adds AI agent to Gennai government platform
The Gennai Library system enables government staff to share their knowledge and expertise. The Digital Agency has added an artificial intelligence agent function capable of autonomously performing two or more tasks simultaneously to its Gennai generative AI platform, which is available to about 180,000 government employees. The agent can perform a series of tasks based only on a single direction, including preparing and summarizing meeting minutes and sharing them within departments. The agency said it is the first time in the world that a government body has prepared an environment enabling the use of an AI agent at this scale. Previously, users had to enter separate prompts for each task.
