In Ukraine, President Zelensky's hometown was hit by a missile by Russian forces, killing at least six people. On the other hand, in Russia, drones have been attacking the capital Moscow one after another, and the Russian side is increasing its vigilance.

On July 7, in Kribiviliff, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, an apartment complex was hit by missiles by Russian forces, and the local governor announced that six people, including children, were killed and 31 others were injured.

Kribiliff is the birthplace of President Zelensky, who shared footage of the collapsed building on social media, strongly condemning the occupying forces for continuing to terrorize peaceful cities and people.

On the other hand, in Russia, drone attacks have been carried out one after another in the capital Moscow, and President Zelensky said on the 6th that "the war is gradually returning to Russian territory," and Ukrainian Air Force spokesman Ignat said, "Something is always flying in Moscow and other places, and it is also going towards people who had nothing to do with the war."

In response, President Putin's aide, Secretary of the Security Council Patrushev, claimed at a meeting held in northwestern Russia on March 75 that "Ukrainian security forces, with the cooperation of the West, are launching attacks with many drones from the air and sea in Moscow, Crimea, etc."

At a meeting at the Ministry of Defence, Defense Minister Shoigu also expressed the view that the Ukrainian army has lost more than 30,31 soldiers and 1 German Leopard tanks in the past month, and accused Ukraine of "concentrating on terrorist attacks on civilian infrastructure facilities while the counteroffensive fails."

Russia is increasingly wary that Ukraine may launch further drone attacks in Moscow and elsewhere.

Ukrainian soldiers "experienced hell"

The Ukrainian army is allegedly conducting counter-offensive operations in three main regions: around Bakhmut in eastern Donetsk Oblast, in the western regions of Donetsk Oblast, and in the western regions of Southern Zaporozhye Oblast.

Of these, the British Times newspaper reported on July 3 about the fighting at Staromayorsike, which Ukraine announced in late July in the vicinity of Belika Novosilka in western Donetsk Oblast.

Among them, Staromajorsike, a small settlement with a population of 7, "I don't think it's worth fighting for with blood", but there is an important road leading to Mariupol, a strategic point facing the Sea of Azov, and Ukraine who wants to recapture it and go further south. It means that fierce battles were fought with Russia, which is devoted to defense.

The road was narrow and winding, and here it was mainly gunfights by infantry, not tanks or anything like that.

A Ukrainian soldier who said he fought there told The Times, "They approached us about 7 meters and then shot us, and simple attacks no longer work," and testified that the Russian army had ambushed us and attacked us.

He added: "Our troops went through hell, some of our comrades were covered in blood, and one was killed. When Russian armored vehicles entered the settlement, I thought it was useless."

The Times also reported that Ukrainian troops recaptured the settlement of Neskucine north of Staromajorsike: "Ukraine had to destroy the settlement in order to liberate it from Russian occupation." It points out that it has been forced to adopt Soviet-style tactics of repeated attrition and destruction in order to move forward.
