On Tuesday evening, Russian forces struck several cities in eastern and southeastern Ukraine, killing multiple people, according to official information. The attacks occurred shortly before the opening of the international economic forum in St. Petersburg.

In addition, numerous people were wounded, and significant damage was inflicted on the affected regions. These attacks underscore the ongoing violence and humanitarian challenges facing Ukraine.

German Friedrich Merz expressed optimism that European and American partners could increase pressure on Russia through new sanctions. The issue is also expected to be discussed at the upcoming EU summit.
