People across Ukraine still face deadly attacks, even as Kyiv says Moscow’s military push is slowing and its influence abroad is weakening. In an interview published on 9 June, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces were losing momentum while Ukraine expanded long-range drone strikes and sought more air defence help from allies. One recent assault involved 73 missiles and 656 drones, with 18 deaths reported in Kyiv and Dnipro.
