Russia launched a massive overnight attack against Ukraine, striking Kyiv, Dnipro, and other cities with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles, including a significant number of difficult-to-intercept ballistic missiles. The attacks caused civilian casualties, damaged residential areas, and left parts of Kyiv covered in smoke. At the same time, Ukraine continued long-range strikes against Russian infrastructure and military targets, including oil facilities and other strategic sites. On the battlefield, Russian losses remained extraordinarily high, contributing to record seven-day averages for casualties, vehicle losses, and equipment attrition. In this video, we examine the overnight attacks, Ukraine’s response, the latest battlefield statistics, and what these trends may indicate about the current phase of the war.
