Ukraine recorded a record of drone attacks by Russia in July. According to the UN, the number of civilian victims has risen to the highest level in the last three years.
The number of Russian drone attacks on Ukraine reached a record monthly level in July since the beginning of the invasion in 2022. According to AFP analysis, TASR reports on the basis of data from Ukrainian air forces.
According to Moscow report, it released 6297 long-range drones to Ukraine, which represents an almost 16 % increase over June and the third month in a row with a growing number of attacks. In July, 198 missiles were also launched, the second highest number this year after June. The attacks took place every night throughout the month.
The number of civilian victims also increased
The combined drone and rocket attack on Kiev claimed at least 31 victims on Thursday morning, of which 28 were killed in a nine -storey residential house hit by a rocket. There were also five children among the dead, said Pavlo Petrov spokesman.
Last month, the UN reported that the highest monthly number of civilian victims in June was recorded in June as a result of the intensification of Russian attacks. The peace negotiations between Moscow and Kiev have not produced a result since May, while the Kremlin has repeatedly rejected the possibility of an unconditional ceasefire, claiming to be a contractual detention of security architecture.
US President Donald Trump has set Moscow a date until next Friday to reach an agreement, otherwise he threatened with extensive sanctions.
