  • This week, Russia launched over 1,500 drones and dozens of missiles in consecutive attacks across Ukraine, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries, with Ukrainian officials reporting 63 people injured from 20 direct drone hits.
  • A significant fire erupted at an oil refinery in Ryazan, central Russia, following strikes by Ukrainian drones, which President Zelensky highlighted as part of Ukraine's retaliatory actions.
  • President Zelensky accused Russia of planning to target approximately two dozen "decision-making centres," including government buildings and military command posts, and said that Ukraine would not let Russian aggression go unpunished.
