Scott Mc Kiernan presents zReportage.com Issue #948 Story of the Week: Published TUESDAY July 30, 2024: ‘Life UNDER Russia’s ATTACK’ by ZUMA Partner agency Ukrinform photo-journalist Dmytro Smolienko: Well into year three of Russia’s full-scale assault on Ukraine, the war has killed more than 11,100 civilians and injured at least 21,860. With regular bombardments across the country, Ukraine’s power grid and the Kharkiv region in the northeast have faced especially intense onslaughts in recent months, as Russia conducts waves of aerial attacks while reportedly building up its forces. Russia uses a range of deadly tactics that are illegal under international law, including intentionally dropping glide bombs on civilian areas and firing directly at civilian infrastructure; on July 8, for example, military and civilian targets across Ukraine were destroyed by Russian missiles, killing at least 41 people. These attacks reveal the deterioration of Ukraine’s air defense. Welcome to ‘Life UNDER Russia’s ATTACK’
