Record Glide Bombs Dropped by Russia on Ukraine Amid Rising Casualties

POLICY WIRE — City, Country — Russian forces have intensified their aerial assault on Ukraine by deploying a record number of glide bombs, leading to a surge in casualties. The escalating bombardment marks a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict.

According to military reports, Moscow’s troops have been suffering high rates of losses, a situation exacerbated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s renewed air campaign against Russian targets. Zelenskyy has vowed to continue the offensive, aiming to weaken Russia’s military capabilities.

The use of glide bombs, which are unguided munitions that can be released from a distance, has caused widespread destruction across Ukrainian territories. Civilian areas haven’t been spared, resulting in a growing number of non-combatant casualties.

In a press conference, Zelenskyy stated, “We won’t relent in our efforts to defend our nation. The aggression against us will be met with a robust and relentless response.” His comments come amid growing international concern over the deteriorating situation.

The Ukrainian military has reported increased activity in several regions, with Russian forces focusing their attacks on key infrastructure and military installations. The bombardment has disrupted essential services — and displaced thousands of civilians.

International observers are closely monitoring the situation, with calls for a ceasefire and renewed diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict. The United Nations has expressed deep concern over the escalating violence — and its impact on civilian populations.
