Summary
Ukraine launched a devastating drone strike on St. Petersburg’s oil terminal, part of a growing campaign targeting Russia’s energy infrastructure — with 72 drones intercepted and a military facility in Kronstadt also hit. President Zelenskyy framed these as “long-range sanctions” aimed at crippling Russia’s war funding. The Kirovsky district, previously struck in June, took another hit just before a major economic forum, while Crimea saw deadly strikes, including one that killed a child. Putin dismissed the attacks as insignificant distractions, but analysts note Russia’s battlefield momentum is faltering — even as he touted a claimed capture of Kostyantynivka, which Ukraine denies. Meanwhile, Belgorod suffered blackouts and Zaporizhzhia endured Russian retaliation, wounding civilians — including children — as the war increasingly invades Russian soil and forces its citizens to confront the conflict’s real-time toll.
