Overview

Reports over the past day indicate continued Russian air attacks across Ukraine, including strikes on Kyiv. Ukrainian authorities reported eight deaths and dozens of injuries, while Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia had launched about 3,900 drones, aerial bombs and missiles during the preceding week. Kyiv framed the attacks as evidence that Moscow is not pursuing de-escalation and renewed calls for sanctions.
