In just a matter of time, Russia conducted one of the biggest raids in the region against Ukraine by launching more than 700 drones and missiles towards civilian and energy facilities in the area, resulting in deaths of at least 22 individuals, most of them being children, and the injuring of more than 100 others. These casualties occurred due to the attacks that occurred in cities such as Dnipro and Kyiv, which resulted in power shortages, causing 41,000 to take refuge in the subway. Despite the claim that the raid was part of a systematic operation after an attack by Ukraine, President Zelensky sought more Patriot missiles from Western forces.
