Russia Launches Largest Air Assault on Ukraine, Targeting Government Building
In a significant escalation of hostilities, Russia has carried out its largest air assault on Ukraine to date, setting ablaze a key government building in Kyiv. The recent barrage, which included over 800 drones and various missiles, resulted in multiple civilian casualties, with reports of at least four deaths among the populace. Ukrainian officials have condemned the strikes, with President Zelenskyy demanding a strong response from allies in light of this ruthless attack. The Russian missiles have been found to contain components from foreign manufacturers, raising concerns about the ongoing supply chains supporting the assault. This wave of attacks has intensified fears among Ukrainians, as the sounds of drones and missiles echo nightly in urban areas. As the conflict continues, NATO has heightened its readiness, scrambling jets to respond to the unprecedented scale of Russian aggression.
