Russia has attacked Kherson Oblast 55 times over the past day, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said on Telegram on July 26. Two people have been killed and three others injured, he said.
According to Prokudin, Russia fired 300 projectiles in total, from tanks, aircraft, multiple rocket launchers, artillery weapons and drones.
Russian forces targeted residential areas and agricultural infrastructure, including a farm in the region's Kakhovka district.
Czech President Petr Pavel warned that repeated Russian airspace violations may eventually force Europe to shoot down Russian aircraft and drones, and said European countries must be ready to fight and win a war on their own if the U.S. is tied up elsewhere.
Amid an ongoing Russian offensive, Ukraine has liberated a village in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, the Ukrainian open-source mapping project DeepState and Ukraine's military reported.
In the latest episode of Ukraine This Week, the Kyiv Independent’s Anna Belokur reports on another failed round of U.S.-Russia diplomacy over a controversial peace plan, as Moscow presses ahead on the battlefield and advances in and near Pokrovsk.
