Kyiv experienced a severe attack from Russian ballistic missiles and drones, resulting in multiple explosions across the city. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported significant damage, including a collapsed residential building in the Desnyanskyi district and fires in other areas. At least 11 people were injured, and residents were urged to seek shelter. The attacks followed Ukrainian strikes on Russian targets, including an oil refinery and a military complex. A U.S. think tank reported that war casualties have exceeded 2 million, with Russian losses significantly higher than Ukrainian. The report suggests that 2026 has been detrimental to the Russian military, with Russia losing territory and potentially the war. The scale of Russian fatalities in Ukraine is notably higher than U.S. war fatalities since World War II.
