Russo-Ukrainian war, day 1642: Ukraine sinks three Kalibr shooters, but at least four remain
In Kyiv, city officials put the cost of a single Russian attack at roughly $12 million, with more than 4,000 buildings damaged and strikes arriving nearly twice a week.
On day 1642 of the Russo-Ukrainian war, Ukraine successfully sank three Russian Kalibr shooters, but at least four remain in commission. The Ukrainian military has employed drones to target Russian fighters and a spy drone, successfully blinding radars from occupied Crimea to Rostov. Meanwhile, Russia still possesses eight warships capable of firing Kalibr cruise missiles, with at least four in service.
Ukraine has also targeted and damaged numerous Russian launchers, including an Iskander launcher near the border, as part of a strategic effort to diminish the missile threat when stocks of anti-ballistic interceptors are low. Additionally, Ukraine has rallied across multiple countries to advocate for Europe to utilize Russia's frozen billions, with the European Union committing a €90 billion loan.
The ongoing conflict has resulted in significant human and economic impacts on Kyiv, with the city suffering approximately $12 million in damage per attack and over 4,000 buildings destroyed. Furthermore, Russia continues to hold up to 20,000 Ukrainian civilians captive and is replacing Ukrainian teachers in occupied territories with its own educators to propagate Russian ideology.
