Russia reported civilian casualties in response to Ukraine’s incursion into the Kursk region, while Ukraine emphasized its adherence to international humanitarian law.
In politics and diplomacy, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the United States to take “decisive action” to end Russian aggression and sought approval to use longer-range weapons on Russian military targets. A UN commission highlighted the deliberate denial of medical care and torture of Ukrainian prisoners in Russian prisons. The UN special rapporteur on Russia noted a decline in human rights conditions in the country.
Meanwhile, the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague saw clashes between Russia and Ukraine over access to coastal waters around the Crimean Peninsula.
