24.07.2025The Law's Turn, Kharkiv's Fire
The day's editorial focus rapidly shifted to the reversal of the controversial anti-corruption law.

This marked a significant pivot after the law's recent signing. Concurrently, media extensively covered a major Russian aerial strike on Kharkiv, causing high casualties, including children and pregnant women. Reports confirmed the use of new UMPB-5 aerial bombs in this attack, alongside continued drone and missile strikes on Odesa and other urban centers, inflicting further damage. Towards day's end, an agreement on the return of 1,200 Ukrainian soldiers from captivity gained prominence, alongside reports of Starlink outages affecting frontline forces.
