On the 513th day of Russia's large-scale armed aggression against our country, here is a brief summary of the main events of the day.

Throughout the day on July 21, Russian occupiers carried out another massive missile and aviation attack on Ukrainian territory, using three Kalibr sea-launched cruise missiles, four Iskander land-launched cruise missiles, six Oniks cruise missiles, one X-59 missile, and one anti-aircraft guided missile.
