Three civilians were killed and dozens more injured in recent Russian attacks on Ukraine, according to local officials. In the city of Zaporizhzhia, two people were killed and one was wounded when Russian drones struck a residential area overnight. Regional head Ivan Fedorov confirmed the incident. In Kryvyi Rih, another city in central Ukraine, one person died and three were injured from similar strikes. In the Black Sea port of Odesa and its surrounding areas, 28 people were wounded in what regional head Oleh Kiper described as a "massive attack." Among the damaged buildings was a residential high-rise, with its upper floors completely destroyed. Ukraine is facing increasing pressure from Russia’s intensified air campaign, which involves both ballistic missiles and jet-powered drones. These attacks have targeted critical infrastructure, including Ukraine’s power grid, in an effort to weaken the country’s defenses and demoralize its population, particularly as winter approaches. Officials say the strikes are part of a broader strategy to destabilize the country and undermine public confidence in its ability to resist the invasion. Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed concerns about European troop involvement in Ukraine during a press conference at the BRICS summit in India. He warned that if European governments were to send troops into Ukraine, it would constitute "a war with Russia." "Now they're talking about how they're considering sending troops into Ukraine. That means a war with Russia," Putin said. Some European leaders have discussed the possibility of forming a peacekeeping force to support Ukraine, but Moscow has consistently rejected this idea. Putin also denied that Russia poses a threat to Europe, stating, "there is no such threat and never has been." Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that recent incidents along Ukraine’s borders with Poland and Moldova could be a sign of increased Russian aggression. Two people were killed when Russian drones struck the Starokozache border crossing between Ukraine and Moldova earlier this week. On Wednesday, a potential attack on a Polish-Ukrainian border crossing was averted due to cooperation between Poland and Ukraine. Tusk described these events as a preview of possible intensified Russian actions at key border points across Europe.
