Following the attack on Thursday, which critically damaged an apartment block and impacted several public buildings, Ukraine is in mourning. The Ukrainian air force has reported that over 300 drones and eight cruise missiles were deployed in this late-night assault, marking one of the deadliest attacks since the onset of Russia's full-scale invasion in February 2022.

U.S. President Donald Trump condemned Russia's actions, expressing his disgust and indicating potential new sanctions aimed at Moscow. He has insisted on a ceasefire, setting a 10 to 12 day timeline for negotiations.

As part of a collective response, Germany has committed to supplying two additional U.S.-made Patriot air defense systems, enhancing Ukraine's defense capabilities amid ongoing attacks.
Zelensky disclosed alarming statistics from July, detailing the massive volume of Russian aerial assaults, insisting that “every day matters” in the fight against the ongoing aggression. The international community's unified efforts are crucial to halt this violence and restore peace.
