Russia has significantly escalated its shellings of civilian populations in Ukraine, causing widespread damage to critical infrastructure and endangering countless lives.

This surge in violence has prompted Ukraine to intensify its efforts to secure long-range weapons and strengthen anti-aircraft defenses to safeguard civilians and prevent further destruction.
