📖 Full Retelling

On February 25, 2026, marking day 1,462 of Russia's war on Ukraine, fighting continued across multiple fronts as Russian forces launched attacks on Ukrainian communities in Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions, while Ukrainian forces conducted strikes in Russian-occupied areas and border regions, resulting in civilian casualties on both sides as diplomatic efforts continued with European leaders visiting Kyiv and the UN General Assembly voting on a peace resolution. The United Nations confirmed that at least 15,172 Ukrainian civilians have been killed and over 41,000 injured since Russia's full-scale invasion began four years ago, though officials acknowledge the actual figures are likely higher due to unverified reports. In a single day, Russian attacks killed civilians in Pokrovske, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions, while overnight drone and missile attacks saw Ukrainian air defenses shoot down 111 Russian drones out of 133 launched, along with an Iskander-M ballistic missile. Meanwhile, diplomatic developments saw Ukrainian President Zelenskyy thank 107 UN member states for voting in favor of a non-binding resolution supporting lasting peace, while European leaders promised progress in Ukraine's EU accession path and a blocked 90-billion-euro loan. Russian President Putin responded with warnings that Ukraine and its allies would 'regret' their actions, accusing Ukraine of threatening Russian energy pipelines with Western intelligence help.
