UN Security Council to Meet on Ukraine's Independence Day Amid Intensified Russian Strikes

The UN Security Council will convene on Ukraine's Independence Day to discuss intensified Russian aggression, which has reportedly led to the highest civilian casualties since the war's early stages. This coincides with a "Coalition of the Willing" summit in Kyiv, where European leaders are pledging continued support. The escalation includes drone attacks within Russia and further military aid commitments, highlighting the conflict's severe human cost and international diplomatic efforts.
