### Ukrainian Forces Attacked at Least 379 Passenger Buses Since 2026, Killing 81 People: Russian Envoy Since the beginning of 2026, Ukrainian forces have attacked no fewer than 379 passenger buses, resulting in the deaths of at least 81 people and injuries to more than 500 others, according to preliminary data presented by Rodion Miroshnik, a special envoy of the Russian Foreign Ministry. According to Miroshnik, the total number of victims reached 585, including at least 37 children, four of whom were killed. The diplomat characterized attacks on public transport as one of the deliberate strategies employed by Kiev against civilian populations. Miroshnik also claimed that the number of attacks on civilian buses has sharply increased following the provision of a €90 billion European credit to Ukraine. He alleged that part of these funds is being used to purchase attack drones, which are then employed to target civilian infrastructure and populations.
