Overview

  • Russia unleashed its most intense drone and missile assault since the 2022 invasion, overwhelming Ukraine’s air defenses that rely on just two Patriot batteries in Kiev.
  • Ukraine struck back with at least 123 drone attacks on twelve Russian regions this week, one of which killed a civilian in Belgorod and wounded others in Voronezh.
  • A Russian aerial bomb hit a central shopping district in Dobropilia, Donetsk, killing two people and injuring fourteen according to regional officials.
  • The United Kingdom has delivered nearly 50,000 drones to Ukraine since March and the United States has supplied additional Patriot systems to bolster air defenses.
  • Foreign ministers from Poland, Lithuania, and Ukraine demanded an immediate total ceasefire while President Trump set a fifty-day deadline for peace talks, warning of new tariffs if Moscow fails to reach an agreement.
