- On Monday, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Ukraine submitted a proposal for a reciprocal energy ceasefire to Russia via American intermediaries, offering to halt strikes on Russian energy infrastructure if Moscow reciprocates.
- In March 2026, Ukraine launched more attack drones than Russia for the first time since the full-scale invasion began. The Russian Ministry claimed to have downed 7,347 Ukrainian drones, while the Ukrainian Air Force defended against 6,462.
