Summary
At least 377 civilians were killed and 2,129 injured in Ukraine this month, the highest civilian toll of the war since April 2022, according to government figures.
Nearly 1,700 drones, more than 1,630 guided bombs and over 50 ballistic missiles hit Ukraine in the past week alone, Zelensky said, with repeated strikes on Kyiv and other cities driving the surge.
Chernihiv underscored the threat on Sunday when a Russian drone hit a supermarket, killing a 10-year-old child and an adult and injuring three others, local authorities said.
Zelensky renewed calls for more Patriot and other air-defense systems, saying interceptors must be moved from partners' warehouses to Ukraine to counter what he called Russia's 'ballistic terror.'
The escalation is also spilling beyond Ukraine: Romania said it shot down a Russian drone over its territorial waters for a third straight day and summoned Moscow's ambassador.
