In a substantial coordinated strike, Russia executed one of its largest missile and drone offensives against Kyiv and additional Ukrainian cities during the night of July 1–2, as indicated by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW). Ukrainian authorities have confirmed a toll of at least 27 fatalities and over 90 injuries. The ISW noted that while Russia persists in executing extensive long-range strike operations, its progress on the battlefield remains constrained. Furthermore, the assessment reveals that Russian military efforts are currently focused on resupplying frontline divisions rather than amassing extensive strategic reserves, underscoring the ongoing attritional dynamics of the conflict.
