Tuesday, 29 July 2025

The United Kingdom has condemned the Russian attacks on Zaporizhzhia Oblast and Kamianske, a city near Dnipro, that took place on the night of 28-29 July and killed 20 civilians.

The UK Embassy noted that Russia had once again targeted civilian infrastructure, citing the strike on a penitentiary facility in Zaporizhzhia Oblast and an attack on Kamianske that damaged a hospital.

"The Kremlin is not serious about peace. The UK will continue to ramp up the pressure on Russia," the statement says. 

According to the latest reports, the strike on a penitentiary facility in Zaporizhzhia Oblast late on 28 July killed 17 people and injured 42.

Three people were killed in Kamianske, including a 23-year-old pregnant woman.

On 28 July, US President Donald Trump announced a new deadline for Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin to resolve the war he launched against Ukraine, setting a timeframe of 10 to 12 days.
