Russia Continues Investing In Missiles And Expanding Its War — More Counteraction Is Needed — Zelenskyy

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned on August 27 that Russia continues investing in missile technology and expanding its war efforts, emphasizing the need for increased counteraction. The Russian forces struck critical infrastructure in Poltava, Sumy, and Kherson regions, as well as residential buildings in Kharkiv region.

In Kramatorsk, a guided aerial bomb hit an apartment building, resulting in the rescue of four individuals by State Emergency Service units. Three people were injured in Zaporizhzhia, and two in Kryvyi Rih, while a residential apartment building in Odesa was targeted. Fires were extinguished in Chubynske, Kyiv region, following drone strikes.
