Russian forces continue attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine. On Tuesday, July 27, a missile strike hit a supermarket in the city of Chernihiv, killing a 9-year-old girl and one adult. Several other people were wounded.
In the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian guided bombs killed a 46-year-old man. The exact circumstances and identity of the victim are being investigated.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that Russia has asked North Korea to provide 30,000 additional soldiers and new missile launchers. According to him, reception sites for these units have been prepared in Voronezh Oblast since June. This move indicates Russia’s efforts to compensate for heavy losses in the war in Ukraine while intensifying pressure on the front line.
Zelenskyy called on the international community to respond to this information, emphasizing that North Korean involvement would change the conflict's dynamics. Ukrainian security services are already examining the data to assess potential threats.
