Russia Says Ukrainian Strikes Killed 69 Civilians In A Week
Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik says two of the dead and twelve of the wounded were children, tallied July 13 to July 19.
- Kyiv's forces fired more than 7,168 munitions into Russian regions across the same week.
- The count rests solely on the Russian foreign ministry's own statement, unverified by outside monitors.
- Miroshnik published the figures on the MFA's Telegram channel on July 21, 2026.
Why it matters: A ministry at war has no incentive to undercount its own dead, and no obligation to be believed.
