An 11-year-old girl sustained injuries in a UAV attack by Ukraine on the Russian city of Voronezh, prompting the declaration of a state of emergency. The Voronezh Region Governor, Alexander Gusev, reported that the child was hurt by falling UAV parts neutralized by air defense systems. The girl received on-site medical treatment for cuts on her hands, legs, and neck, with follow-up visits planned. The Russian Ministry of Defense announced the neutralization of 8 Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicles over the Voronezh region. Mayor Vadim Kstenin declared a state of emergency, citing damage to 35 flats in three 10-storey buildings. Authorities are assessing the extent of the damage caused by the UAV attack.
EU Trade Commissioner Maros Sefcovic warned that a proposed 30% US tariff on European goods would effectively amount to a trade ban, severely disrupting transatlantic supply chains.
Speaking ahead of the EU Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, Sefcovic expressed disappointment over a letter from US President Donald Trump that halted expected trade progress. “We were close to an agreement,” he said, but now “must prepare for all outcomes.”
The EU has delayed retaliatory measures on $72 billion worth of US goods until August 1, hoping for a negotiated resolution. Sefcovic emphasized that “no one wants a trade war,” while France urged faster preparation for countermeasures and Hungary blamed the EU Commission’s weak response to US pressure.
Danish and Lithuanian ministers echoed calls to avoid escalation but emphasized EU readiness to defend its interests.
