Russia launched 550 targets against Ukrainian territory
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the “deliberately massive and cynical” to the capital, Kiev, and other regions of Ukraine, which caused at least 23 injured.
“This was one of the largest -scale, deliberately massive and cynical air strikes. It was a brutal and sleepless night,” Zelensky wrote on Twitter.
Zelensky specified that the Russian forces launched 550 targets, including at least 330 unmanned attack aircraft, as well as ballistic missiles.
Firefighting efforts and debris removal are still ongoing after another Russian strike. This was one of the most large-scale air attacks – deliberately massive and cynical. In total, 550 targets were launched, including at least 330 Russian-Iranian “shaheds”, along with missiles,…

“Once again, Russia shows that it has no intention of ending the war and terror. The Air strike alert in Kiev has only been suspended around 9 am today (7 hours in Lisbon),” wrote the Ukrainian leader, adding that fire -fighting and wreckage removal efforts continue after this last Russian attack.
According to Zelensky, the first air strike alerts began to sound on Thursday almost simultaneously to news about a call between US President Donald Trump and Kremlin leader Vladimir Putin.
“This is a clear proof that, without truly large -scale pressure, Russia will not change its stupid and destructive behavior. For each such attack against the population and human lives, they must suffer appropriate sanctions and other blows in the economy, yields and infrastructure. This is the only thing that can be quickly achieved to change the situation for the better. And it depends on our partners, especially the United States,” he said.
The Ukrainian defense forces managed to shoot down 270 air targets, while another 208 drones were neutralized with electronic block, he said.
Zelensky added that dozens of unmanned aircraft have been slaughtered with intercetory drones and insisted that partners must continue to support Ukraine in defense against ballistic missiles, something “vital importance”, emphasizing: “[os sistemas] Patriot and his missiles are true life protectors. “
The Ukrainian capital was the main target of this Russian attack, which also affected the regions of Kiev, Dnipropetrovsk, Sumi, Kharkiv and Chernigov, where, in addition to fragments of drones and missiles, direct impacts were also recorded.
