Ukrainakriget: Rekordmånga ryska robotattacker, ukrainska framgångar, Putin anklagar Storbritannien
Läge just nu
Uppdaterad 15 maj 14:40Rysslands krig i Ukraina är fortfarande låst, med ryska styrkor som ockuperar cirka 20 procent av Ukraina och framryckningarna avtog till bara 244 kvadratkilometer i december 2025. Luftkriget har intensifierats: Ryssland genomförde en ovanlig dagtidsdrönarattack som dödade fyra i Tjerkasy, medan Ukraina fortsätter att systematiskt attackera rysk oljeinfrastruktur. En av de största robot- och drönarattackerna sedan februari 2022 träffade Kiev och omfattade över 800 drönare och robotar. En USA-stödd fredsplan, som kan innebära att Ukraina avstår ockuperade territorier, är fortfarande stillastående efter att Ryssland avvisat ändrade villkor. Totala civila offer har överstigit 56 000, inklusive nästan 15 000 döda, enligt FN.
