President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has described the latest wave of Russian attacks on Kyiv as ‘one of the most horrific’ with at least 15 civilians killed. The strikes have reportedly targeted dozens of locations across the capital, marking a significant escalation in the conflict.
Zelenskyy’s remarks come as Ukrainian authorities confirm the attacks have caused widespread damage to infrastructure, including residential areas, government buildings, and transportation hubs. The scale of the assault has raised concerns about the potential for further escalation in the ongoing war. Citizens in Kyiv are being urged to remain indoors and take shelter as additional strikes are expected in the coming days.
International observers have condemned the attacks, with many calling for intensified sanctions against Russia. Meanwhile, Ukrainian officials are working to assess the full extent of the damage and provide aid to affected residents. The situation highlights the growing humanitarian challenges faced by civilians caught in the crossfire of the conflict.
