Zelenskyy urges West to lift targeting restrictions for Ukraine amid intensified Russian airstrikes

Recent reports indicate that the town of Toretsk in eastern Ukraine has been subjected to heavy bombardment by Russian forces, with local officials claiming the use of powerful glide bombs. This is part of a larger pattern of Russian attacks using guided bombs, which have been employed since March to target Ukrainian cities and villages across the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has renewed his calls for more air defenses and long-range weapons to counter these attacks, which have resulted in at least 11 civilian deaths and 37 injuries across Ukraine.
