Russia-Ukraine: List of Key Events, Day 1,215
On the 1,215th day of the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukraine reported deadly overnight air assaults on its capital, Kyiv. Ukrainian authorities confirmed that Russian missile and drone strikes claimed the lives of at least five individuals and left dozens more injured. The bombardments caused fires in residential zones and inflicted damage on a metro station entrance, which also serves as a civilian shelter.
Ukraine’s Air Force reported that Russia launched 352 drones and 16 missiles overnight across Ukrainian territory. Meanwhile, Russia’s Ministry of Defence claimed that its forces downed 16 Ukrainian drones during the same timeframe, between Sunday night and early Monday morning.
In his daily address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a significant investment by Norway, pledging $400 million toward strengthening Ukraine’s defense industry.
Diplomatic Developments
President Zelenskyy stated he intends to travel to the United Kingdom on Monday to hold talks focused on military support and ways to intensify international pressure on Russia. He emphasized plans to push for stronger measures to halt ongoing attacks.
In another development, Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez clarified that Spain has not committed to raising its annual defense spending to 5 percent of its gross domestic product, despite recent discussions among NATO member states about increasing defense budgets in response to perceived rising threats from Russia.
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban called on the European Union to remove a proposed ban on Russian energy from its agenda. He cited concerns about surging energy prices following a U.S. airstrike on Iran on Sunday.
