WorldRussian forces now 20km from Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk

Russian attacks on Kyiv and the surrounding region killed 17 people and wounded dozens, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Ukraine’s depleted air defences failed to intercept any of Moscow’s missiles launched overnight. Zelenskyy has again told allies that his country needs additional air-defence systems. The United Nations said July was the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since April 2022.
