Russia starts a large air raid on Ukraine after US Hilfestopp

kyjiw, Ukraine- Russia fired on Ukraine in a violent nightly offensive cruise and ballistic rockets, President Wolodymyr Selenskyj reported on Friday. This was done in a week in which the United States put their military help and the exchange of messages with Kiev. Selenskyj renewed his appeal to a partially ceasefire.

massive attack on Ukraine

Russia's attack aimed at several regions in Ukraine, whereby almost 70 rockets and almost 200 drones were used according to Selenskyj. He emphasized that the "massive" attack "was directed against the infrastructure that enables a normal life."

urgency of an armistice

After the air raids, Selenskyj again emphasized his desire for a partial ceasefire. This plan was initially initiated by French President Emmanuel Macron and then discussed by the European allies of Ukraine, who came together on Thursday to form a decisive European Union defense summit in Brussels. Selenskyj expressed the hope of “calm in the ventilation - a ban on the use of rockets, long -distance roar and air bombs” as well as “calm at sea - a real guarantee for normal navigation.”

Ukraine on the way to peace

Selenskyj confirmed that Ukraine is "ready to follow the way to peace." He repeatedly emphasized this week compared to the Trump administration, after his tense encounter in the Oval Office last Friday.

The challenges of US help

Although Kiev tried to improve the relationship with Washington and will have Ukrainian and Ukrainian officials discussions in Saudi Arabia next week, the Trump administration has caused further setbacks for Ukraine this week by stopping military deliveries and hiring the exchange of secret service information.

threaten Trump to Russia

After weeks of friendlier relationships with Russia, Trump expressed surprising threats to Moscow on Friday. He would be ready to impose large -scale banking and tariffs against Russia until it agrees to an armistice and a final peace regulation. "To Russia and Ukraine: Now comes to the negotiating table before it is too late," said Trump on Truthsocial.

effect of the US sanctions on Ukraine

Stopping American military aid could have devastating effects on Ukraine's skills and expose millions of civilians to the danger of Russian rocket attacks. According to the Ukrainian Air Force, the nightly fire included 43 cruise rockets and 194 drones. As a result of these attacks, the Luftwaffe was able to intercept 134 floors, including 25 cruise rockets and 100 drones, but was unsuccessful for the ballistic rockets, which fly at about five times the speed of sound.

The situation in the Kursk region

In the meantime, Ukraine sees itself exposed to considerable pressure in Kursk and could soon lose a key supply line for its armed forces in the Russian region. According to the Ukrainian and Russian military bloggers, fresh North Korean troops are intensifying Russia's offensive operations in their own country. In August, the Ukraine had launched a surprising invasion in Kursk to distract Russian troops from East Ukraine and improve their negotiating position.

Was Ukraine underlaid against Russia?

"The situation in the Kursk sector is very difficult - Russian troops have entered the Sumy region," wrote Andriy Tsaplienko, a prominent Ukrainian military blogger.

strategic importance of the invasion in Kursk

A Russian military blogger suggested that Moscow may have been related to the United States' decision this week to reduce information about the Ukrainian military. Against the background of Russia's success, some Ukrainian bloggers have indicated that the invasion in Kursk may have exhausted its strategic value.
