Russia has intensified its drone attacks on Ukraine, particularly Kyiv, marking the largest assault of the year with 89 drones shot down by Ukrainian defenses. The ongoing conflict sees both sides struggling with losses and recruitment, as Ukraine continues to call for enhanced air defense systems from its allies.
In eastern Ukraine, the Russian summer offensive has not materialized as expected, with scattered attacks instead of large-scale operations. Despite heavy losses, Russia aims to exhaust Ukrainian forces through persistent assaults, while Ukraine's 79th Brigade has reported successful defenses against Russian attacks, showcasing resilience amidst ongoing pressure.
