Ukrainian Casualties from Russian Attacks

Ukraine, for its part, reported new casualties from Russian attacks. Three people were killed in a night raid on the southeastern Ukrainian city of Zaporizhia. The head of the regional military administration, Ivan Fedorov, stated that the Russian army had dropped at least five bombs on the city. Furthermore, the news agency RBK Ukraine, citing the regional military administration, reported that an air raid alarm was sounded over the Kiev region during the night. A residential building caught fire during a drone attack.

The Crimea as Disputed Territory

The Crimea peninsula was illegally annexed by Russia in 2014 and incorporated into Russian territory following a referendum that was not recognized internationally. Since then, the peninsula has been the subject of ongoing tensions between Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine has repeatedly targeted locations in Crimea, including the strategically important bridge connecting the peninsula to the Russian mainland. US President Donald Trump stated after his summit meeting with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin in mid-August that Ukraine would not regain Crimea in a possible peace settlement with Russia. This statement sparked controversial reactions and highlighted the complex geopolitical situation in the region.
