In a recent series of attacks, Russian drones and missiles resulted in the deaths of at least 14 civilians, including nine in Kyiv, where an apartment building partially collapsed. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the violence during his visit to the UK to meet with King Charles III. The attacks involved extensive use of drones and missiles, though many were intercepted by Ukrainian air defenses. Zelenskyy criticized the assault on a school in Odesa, attributing Russia's ongoing strategy to weaken Ukraine's morale through targeting civilians. He referred to Russia's collaboration with North Korea and Iran as a "coalition of murderers."
The attacks came as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was meeting with King Charles III in the UK, highlighting the ongoing urgency of international support amid escalating violence.
Zelenskyy condemned the missile strikes, particularly one that hit a school in Odesa, calling it "absolutely insane," emphasizing the indiscriminate targeting of civilians and infrastructure.
Despite Ukraine's air defenses intercepting a significant number of drones and missiles, the continued assaults reflect Russia's strategy of undermining Ukrainian morale through civilian casualties.
As Ukrainian forces resist the summer offensive, reports suggest that Russia's reliance on poorly trained infantry may hinder their ability to make substantial gains on the battlefield.
