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.
