Russian shelling of Ukraine

Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Russia has been regularly shelling Ukrainian territory. For its attacks, the terrorist state uses various types of missiles, artillery, UAVs, and guided aerial bombs. Frontline regions suffer the most from these assaults.

In mid-June, Russian terrorists damaged an Intercity+ train featuring the work of world-renowned American artist Barbara Kruger.

More recently, during a strike on Dnipro, the enemy also damaged a passenger train.
