Russia carried out a record number of missile and drone attacks on Ukraine in 2025

I want to thank https://personnelente.wordpress.com/2025/12/31/attacking-ukraine/ for the link to this news article.  I think it is seriously important we realize Ukraine is suffering to keep the rest of the world safe.  If Putin has his way he will recreate the world of the USSR in the 1980s again, taking territory of other countries by force and stealing their resources, just as tRump thinks the US should be able to do the countries the US deals with or are in our hemisphere.  None of this will come to any good for the world.  Right from the start Ukraine should have been given the weapons it needed with no restraint on how to use them.  Biden did as much to damage Ukraine as Putin’s military did.   Biden forced Ukraine to fight with their hands tied behind their backs.  Thankfully Europe is realizing that mistake and removing the no attacks on Russian soil restrictions.   Hugs

During the year, at least 19,033 air alerts were announced throughout the country. The sirens sounded most often in the Kharkiv region (2,020 times), Zaporizhia (1,807 times) and Sumy region (1,793 times). The fewest alerts were recorded in Transcarpathia (126 times), Ivano-Frankivsk region (133 times) and Lviv region (140 times).

If in the winter and spring months there were one or two major attacks per month, then since June-July their number has increased significantly. During individual strikes, the enemy used up to 60 missiles and hundreds of drones, sometimes up to 700–800 drones in a single attack.

The most massive attacks of 2025:

  • January 15: 177 targets (of which 43 missiles and 74 drones, air defense destroyed 30 missiles and all drones)
  • February 1: 165 targets (of which 42 missiles and 123 drones)
  • March 7: 261 (of which 67 missiles and 194 drones)
  • April 24: 215 (of which 70 missiles and 145 drones)
  • May 25: 367 (of which 69 missiles and 298 drones)

Starting in June, the shelling has intensified significantly:

  • June 29: 537 targets (of which 60 missiles and 477 drones)
  • July 9: 728 drones.

In August, the number of attacks remained at a high level:

  • August 21: 614 targets (including 40 missiles and 574 drones)
  • August 28: 629 targets (including 31 missiles and 598 drones)

A record number of drones was recorded on September 7 – 823 targets (including 810 drones and 13 missiles), and on October 30 the enemy launched 705 targets (including 52 missiles and 653 drones). During November and December, massive attacks continued: the number of missiles reached 51, drones – up to 653 in one shelling.

United24 emphasizes that human suffering cannot be fully measured in numbers, but statistics clearly demonstrate the scale of the threat and confirm that Ukraine needs enhanced air defense and support from international partners.
