Pic/AFPRussia fired a record 728 Shahed and decoy drones at <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/trump-administration-resumes-sending-some-weapons-to-ukraine-after-pentagon-pause-23583960" target="_blank">Ukraine </a>overnight, as well as 13 missiles, the Ukrainian air force said on Wednesday, in the latest escalation after mounting Russian aerial and ground attacks in the more than three-year war.The city of Lutsk, which lies in Ukraine’s northwest along the border with Poland and Belarus, was the hardest hit, though 10 other regions were also struck, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said. Lutsk is home to airfields used by the Ukrainian army. Cargo planes and fighter jets routinely fly over the city. Western regions of Ukraine are a crucial logistical backbone in the war, as airfields and depots there receive vital foreign military aid before forwarding it to other parts of the country. Russian long-range attacks have increasingly sought to disrupt those supply corridors.Russia<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/video/russia-ukraine-war-741-drones-fired-at-ukraine-trump-lashes-out-at-putin-1078801" target="_blank"> </a>has recently tried to overwhelm Ukrainian air defences by launching massive aerial assaults, including adding more decoy drones to its attacks. Russia launched its previous largest aerial assault late in the night of July 4 into the following day, with the biggest prior to that occurring less than a week earlier.Zelensky said that the Kremlin was “making a point” with the overnight attack on western parts of Ukraine, as US-led peace efforts flounder. He urged Ukraine’s partners to impose stricter sanctions on Russian oil and those who help finance the Kremlin’s war by buying it.Europe’s top human rights court delivered two rulings against Russia on Wednesday, stating that Russia violated international law during the conflict in Ukraine — the first time an international court has found Moscow<a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/world-news/article/russia-says-moscow-now-occupies-all-of-ukraines-luhansk-region-illegally-annexed-in-2022-23582715" target="_blank"> </a>responsible for human rights abuses. The court also ruled Russia was behind the downing of Flight MH17 — the first time Moscow was named by an international court as being responsible for the 2014 tragedy that claimed 298 lives.Judges at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg are ruling on four cases brought by Ukraine and the Netherlands against Russia, encompassing a wide range of alleged human rights violations since the start of the war, including the downing of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and kidnapping Ukrainian children.</blockquote>
