The death toll from a Russian airstrike on Kyiv has climbed to 31, marking it as the deadliest attack on Ukraine's capital this year. Meanwhile, Russia continues to make steady territorial gains in its invasion, with July being the fourth consecutive month of advances. The EU's foreign policy chief condemned the strike as "depraved," underscoring the brutality of the conflict.
Editor’s Note: This story highlights the escalating human cost and relentless nature of Russia's war in Ukraine, with civilians paying the heaviest price. The continued territorial gains by Russia suggest the conflict is far from over, and international condemnation alone isn't enough to stop the violence. For readers, it’s a grim reminder of the war’s ongoing toll and the urgent need for global attention.
