At least 25 people were killed and over 80 injured in a recent wave of Russian missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, marking the most severe assault on the city since the conflict began. Ukrainian authorities report the strikes deliberately targeted civilian areas. President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the sites of the bombings and condemned the attacks, asserting Russia aims to divide Ukrainian society by targeting civilians. He promised a response to the escalating violence. The attacks underscore the continued threat to Ukrainian cities and the ongoing suffering of the population. This latest barrage intensifies fears of further escalation in the war. International condemnation of the strikes is expected.
