Intensified Russian Strikes on Kyiv Amid Ceasefire Violations
Ukraine reports a series of devastating attacks by Russia on Kyiv and other cities, culminating in the largest drone assault since the beginning of the war. At least 12 people have been killed, including children, as Russian forces launched a massive barrage of up to 1,500 drones over the past few days. Despite recent discussions of potential peace by global leaders, the situation has escalated, undermining hopes for a ceasefire. Ukrainian President Zelensky has condemned the attacks and called for stronger defenses, while the mayor of Kyiv declared a day of mourning in response to the casualties. As both nations exchange accusations of violating a U.S.-brokered ceasefire, the humanitarian toll continues to rise with injuries reported across the capital.
