Report: Damage caused by Russian attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure reaches $127 billion

"I just want to make sure that his (Dmitry Medvedev's) words are only words and nothing more than that," U.S. President Donald Trump said.

The Kyiv Independent's Francis Farrell and Olena Zashko spent a day with two drone teams of the 20th Brigade of Ukraine's National Guard, known as Liubart, that are holding a sector south of Kostiantynivka.

The unidentified drone entered Lithuanian airspace on the morning of July 28, prompting a days-long search.

The recent Russian attack damaged two houses, a market, a shop, and administrative building and several cars, Donetsk Oblast Governor Vadym Filashkin said.

A series of drone attacks targeted industrial facilities in Russia's Ryazan, Penza, Samara and Voronezh oblasts overnight on Aug. 2, Ukraine's General Staff reported.

Ukrainian forces downed 45 out of the 53 drones, including Shahed-type attack drones, rocket-powered drones and decoys, launched by Russia overnight, the Air Force reported.

The online newspaper Ukrainska Pravda reported that hundreds of protesters joined the rally, while police put the number at 80. The police then arrested some of the demonstrators.

The number includes 1,010 casualties Russian forces suffered just over the past day.

A series of explosions were reported overnight on August 2 in Russian-occupied Crimea, with local residents citing drone activity and air defense operations, according to multiple Telegram channels and eyewitness accounts.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Aug. 1 that Moscow has begun production of its latest hypersonic missile, named "Oreshnik," and confirmed plans to deploy the weapon to Belarus later this year.

Tymur Tkachenko, head of the city's military administration, said that as of the morning of Aug. 1, the Russian attack had killed 31 people. At around 10:40 a.m. local time, rescuers recovered three more bodies.

The reported mechanism will allow Kyiv to prioritize weaponry needs under its Priority Ukraine Requirements List, Reuters reported, with arms being delivered in tranches of roughly $500 million. Spearheaded by alliance Secretary General Mark Rutte, NATO allies would then coordinate among themselves as to who would pay for weapons on the list.

The victims include a 5-month-old baby, along with a 9-year-old and 10-year-old boy, Kharkiv Oblast Governor Oleh Syniehubov reported. Five of the victims have been hospitalized.

The waves reportedly hit the Rybachiy naval base, which houses the bulk of the nuclear submarines in Russia's Pacific Fleet, according to images taken by the Umbra Space satellite the morning after the tsunami.
