Another night of Russian drone attacks on Ukraine overnight left more than 10 people injured, particularly damaging residential buildings in the Odesa region.

The strikes caused the biggest damage in the central Prymorskyi district, where residential buildings, a hotel and facilities in the center of the city were damaged, Serhiy Lysak, the head of the local military administration, said on Telegram in comments reported by Reuters.

“It was an extremely difficult night,” he said, adding that high-rise residential buildings, private homes and vehicles came under attack in two other districts.

The Ukrainian prime minister Julia Svyrydenko is expected to visit Poland today as she takes part in a conference on the “security and defence dimension” of Ukraine’s recovery, where she will meet with Poland’s Donald Tusk.

I will keep an eye on lines coming out of that meeting for you.

Elsewhere, France’s Emmanuel Macron is set to visit Andorra (of which, a little-known fact, he is a co-prince), Germany’s Friedrich Merz is expected to speak to pupils about Europe, the EU’s Ursula von der Leyen is in Berlin for a (politically awkward) chat with her former CDU/CSU party.

It’s Monday, 27 April 2026, it’s Jakub Krupa here, and this is Europe Live.

Good morning.
