Russian Attacks on Civilian Infrastructure

Contribution

Russia is now launching an average of over 5,000 drones a month at Ukraine, more than five times the 2024 average. Last month alone, Russia fired over 7,100 drones—a new record—giving rise to the highest civilian casualty count since April 2022. We condemn this clear escalation by Russia, and it is why yesterday we summoned the Russian ambassador to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, where we condemned Russia’s escalation, the assaults on Ukraine and the violation of Romania’s sovereignty. But Ukraine continues to hold firm, and we and our partners and allies stand united with it.
