According to Zelensky, the UN Security Council must develop a legal definition of a terrorist state. He also asked the UN to declare the Russian missile attack on a shopping mall a terrorist crime. Although the UN Charter should keep the world at peace, "Russia has not yet been punished on an international level," he said

Russia has fired more than 2,800 missiles at Ukraine's cities since start of the war.

"As of this evening, a total number of Russian missiles that have hit our cities is already 2,811. And how many more air bombs (they have dropped), how many artillery shells (have been fired)? The UN Security Council today stood up (in a moment of silence) to honor the memory of all Ukrainians killed by the Russian army on our land. The members of the Russian delegation looked back at everyone present in the hall and also decided to stand up - just so they do not look like outright murderers. However, everyone knows that it is Russian terror, it is Russia that is killing innocent people in this war." Zelensky said in his nightly address.

According to Foreign Policy magazine, Ukraine has asked NATO's support in preventing potential Russian nuclear or chemical assaults. Ukrainian officials are likely to ask NATO to do more to thwart any Russian chemical and nuclear assaults on the country this week, according to Foreign Policy, citing draft documents supplied to them.

Ukrainian officials are also pushing for the “establishment of effective measures of deterrence” to prevent Russia from utilizing its nuclear weapons.

The Ukrainian forces destroyed a Russian Grad missile launcher and field ammunition stockpiles on the battlefield. On June 28, Ukraine's Operational Command "South" reported that battle in southern Ukraine continues, with Russia continuing long-range artillery and air strikes on military and civilian targets.

Russia has lost at least 22 servicemen on the southern frontlines, two field ammo stores, three armored vehicles, and five additional military vehicles in the last 24 hours.
