Between January and June, the number of Russian drone and missile attacks exceeded 23,000, a roughly 605% increase compared to the same period last year.

Russia pounded Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles on Saturday (July 12), in the fourth major attack this month, targeting western cities and killing at least two people in Chernivtsi on the border with Romania.

At least one person has been killed after Russia launched its largest drone attack on Ukraine since the beginning of its invasion, Ukrainian officials said Wednesday, just hours after US President Donald Trump pledged more military support for Kyiv and accused his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin of throwing “bullsh*t” over peace talks.
