Trump sets fresh deadline for Putin; amidst this, Russia allegedly claims the lives of 22 individuals in Ukraine, as asserted by President Zelensky
=========================================================================
In the turbulent month of July 2021, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine saw a tragic rise in civilian casualties and diplomatic appeals for peace.
On July 28, Russian forces launched a series of attacks that left a devastating impact. A correctional colony in the Zaporizhzhia region was struck, resulting in the death of 17 people and injuring 42 more [1]. Additionally, 22 Ukrainian civilians lost their lives on the same day [2].
The city hospital in Kamenskoye was targeted in a strike on July 29, causing the death of three people, including a pregnant woman named Diana [3]. This incident occurred just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a new deadline for Russian leader Vladimir Putin to resolve the war against Ukraine, setting around August 6-8 as the deadline [4].
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a statement on July 28 via Telegram, once again calling on the world to force Russia to peace through "very tough, truly painful" sanctions [5]. Zelensky emphasized that even after the clear position of the United States, supported by the world, Russia must end this war and turn to diplomacy [6].
By July 28, 22 people had been killed and 85 were injured in Ukraine [7]. The ongoing military operations have been met with international condemnation and concern for the protection of civilians. The United Nations Security Council has held meetings and briefings on the protection of civilians in armed conflict, signaling ongoing international concern for civilian impacts [8].
While specific detailed reporting on civilian casualties in this timeframe is not included in the search results, the organizations monitoring the conflict strongly condemn Russian violations of international law and crimes against humanity.
As the conflict continues to escalate, the international community remains focused on finding a peaceful resolution and holding those responsible accountable for their actions. The search results show that military developments, international military and financial support, diplomatic efforts, and humanitarian concerns are all central issues in the ongoing efforts to bring peace to Ukraine.
