  "summary": "Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia struck energy infrastructure in at least four regions overnight, according to DW News. While a Melania Trump-brokered ceasefire for the Kherson region was scheduled to end on a Sunday evening, CNBC World reported that fighting continued elsewhere even as a six-day local ceasefire held on its final day around the Russian-controlled town of Oleshky.\n\nRegarding drone technology, the Ukrainian maker TechEx told Business Insider that increasing the range of its jam-resistant fiber-optic drones may involve trade-offs that are not worth the effort. While these drones transmit commands and video through a physical cable to avoid radio-frequency jamming and provide clear video feeds, TechEx noted that longer cables add weight and could reduce payload capacity. The company has developed models with ranges reaching 35 and 40 kilometers and is evaluating whether extending the range to 45 or 50 kilometers is necessary.",
