Intensified Russian Attacks on Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict
As the Russia-Ukraine war approaches its fifth year, Ukraine faces a relentless barrage of missiles and drones from Russian forces. Recent reports indicate that Russia launched a massive overnight assault involving approximately 50 missiles and nearly 300 drones aimed at critical infrastructure, particularly energy sites and the capital, Kyiv. Explosions were heard across the city and its suburbs, resulting in casualties, including the death of one individual and injuries to others. Ukrainian officials, including President Zelensky, have warned of the heightened threat of new strikes as peace talks are set to resume in Geneva. Despite ongoing discussions, the situation remains dire, with air defense forces confronting significant challenges against the scale of the attacks.
