14 deaths in the heaviest Russian attacks on Kyiv for weeks
CNN reported that Russian night strikes with drones and rockets on Kiev cost 14 people on Tuesday. These have been the most fatal attacks on the capital for weeks. According to the Mayor of Kiev Vitaliy Klitschko, more than 55 people were injured, which made the night one of the most fatal for the residents of Kiev.
Attacks on residential areas
The residents of Kiev heard loud sirens from Monday evening, which sounded until the early hours of the morning on Tuesday. These warning signals, which according to the Ukrainian Air Force pointed to a ballistic threat scenario, made the night a sleepless for many. When the day broke up, the sirens continued to use.
Of the injured, more than 40 people were brought to hospitals, Klitschko continued. Numerous residential buildings and other infrastructure were significantly damaged. "We hope that no further dead will be found under the ruins, but we cannot rule this out," added Klitschko. "The number of fatalities could increase."
Details on the consequences of the attacks
"In the attack on Kiev in the Solomyanskyi district, a 62-year-old US citizen died in a house in a house in which paramedics helped the victims," said Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko in a message on Telegram without further details.
Paramedics and the police were in the process of saving injured people from a apparently partially collapsed building. Video recordings published by the state emergency authority of Ukraine show that Rauch was scattered on the ground from the scene of the accident and debris. Vehicles in front of the building were burned out and destroyed.
Scope of the attacks
Political developments
These attacks take place, while Trump announced that he would return to Washington a day earlier than planned from the G7 summit in Canada. His premature departure means that he will miss an important meeting with the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj on the sidelines of the event. It would have been the third meeting of the two since Trump took office in January.
Ukrainian officials had hoped that a positive conversation with Trump could advance Kiev's cause as Russia has stepped up its airstrikes in recent weeks.
Russian support from North Korea
In the meantime, the secretary of the Russian Security Council, Sergey Shoigu, has traveled to Pyongyang, according to the Russian news agency TASS. Shoigu is said to meet with the North Korean leader Kim Jong un there.
Pyongyang continued to support Moscow War against Ukraine, while the world leaders are calling for an end to the three -year conflict. According to an international surveillance organ, North Korea sent soldiers and millions of ammunition, including rockets, to Russia last year.
Increased military aggression
The United States has warned that Russia may be about to exchange advanced spatial and satellite technology with North Korea, in return for continued support in the war against Ukraine.
In April, Russia started the most fatal wave of attacks on Kiev for nine months, with 70 rockets and 145 drones being fired to Ukraine, with the capital being attacked in particular, which led to at least 12 fatalities and 90 injuries.
Under Trump, the United States was less willing to equip the inferior Ukraine directly, asked European partners to provide more support and threatened to withdraw from peace talks completely.
