A recent wave of Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv has left the city mourning, with at least 31 people confirmed dead, including five children. The attacks are described as the deadliest on the Ukrainian capital in recent years, prompting Germany to pledge air defense support. Despite international condemnation and calls for a ceasefire from figures like Donald Trump, Russia has intensified its offensive, causing widespread devastation and injury across Ukraine. Emergency services continue to search through the rubble as the death toll rises, with reports of dozens more casualties from attacks on other Ukrainian cities.
