Escalation
During the night of July 12, Russian forces would have launched nearly 600 drones without pilot of Shahed and Lure type, as well as 26 missiles, killing two civilians and injuring 41.
Damage has been reported in several regions, notably Chernivtsi, Lviv, Cherkasy, Volyn and Kiroohrad – all active combat areas. Earlier the same week, Russian forces would have launched a record of 728 long -range drones in a single 24 -hour period.
June has scored the deadliest month of civilians for over three years.
“People have to spend hours shelter (…) in the basements, the corridors and the shelters available such as metro stations,” said Throssell. “” In some cases, they cannot manage at all. “”
Pressure health
The United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) Meanwhile, has verified 2,504 attacks on health establishments and staff in Ukraine since the start of the large-scale invasion by the Russian Federation on February 24, 2022.
These strikes struck hospitals, ambulances and the first speakers, including in the so -called “double tap” attacks where the secondary strikes follow the initial impact.
“It means more than two attacks every day … Health care is not a safe place for patients and health workers,” said Dr. Jarno Habicht, WHO Representative in Ukraine.
Access to health care remains particularly limited in front line areas, where staff and supplies are rare.
Only 69% of residents in these regions saw a primary care doctor, compared to 74% nationally. WHO mobile teams operating in 82 locations have led more than 7,500 consultations in 2025 so far.
Psychological toll also carries people. A recent assessment has revealed that seven out of 10 people reported anxiety, depression or serious stress in the past 12 months, while in two said it had been significant in the past two months.
