Russia starts the biggest drone attack on Ukraine since the beginning of the war
Russia started the largest drone attack last night since the beginning of the war on Ukraine, as the Ukrainian military announced on Sunday. This happened while Moscow strengthened his military attacks despite direct peace talks with Kiev on Friday.
massive drone attacks on Kyiv
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, 273 Shahed drones were launched in one night, which mainly aimed at the central region of Kiev. A 28-year-old woman died, and three other people, including a four-year-old child, were injured, as Mykola Kalashnik, the governor of the Kiev region, reported.
political reactions to the attacks
Ruslan Stefanchuk, the President of the Ukrainian Parliament, commented on these incidents in a social medium and explained: "The air alarm warning lasted almost nine hours. This is how Putin's sincere wish for peace looks like." He added that the attack destroyed residential buildings, damaged a high -rise building and set up garages. "This is terror in the purest form," continues Stefanchuk.
damage and rescue operations
The "massive attack" caused a variety of fires, the Ukrainian emergency services reported, and 55 rescue workers were mobilized. Elsewhere, a person was killed in the Donetsk area by Russian shelling on Saturday and eight others were injured, according to the head of the military administration of the Donetsk region, Vadym Filashkin. Russian drones also aimed at the regions of Cherson and Saporischschja, reported regional military chiefs.
renewed attacks after peace talks
The latest attacks follow a Russian drone attack on a bus in the northeastern region of Sumy, in which at least nine people were killed and injured on Saturday. This happened only hours after the first direct peace talks between the two countries since the early weeks of the Russian invasion 2022.
results of the peace negotiations
The negotiations in Turkey did not lead to any significant breakthroughs. The two countries discussed a possible meeting between their presidents, an armistice and an exchange of prisoners. The talks followed a discussion in which Russian President Vladimir Putin stimulated a personal meeting, but did not appear and instead sent a junior delegation after the Ukraine proposed a 30-day ceasefire.
conflict about territorial claims
During the talks, Russia demanded that Ukraine go out areas that are still under the control of Kiev, such as a source that reported the negotiations on Friday. This position has long been rejected by Ukraine as unacceptable. The leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Poland described Russia's attitude in the conversations as "unacceptable".US President Trump plans talks with Putin
President Donald Trump announced a conversation with Putin on the end of the Ukraine War for Monday. Trump previously explained that he does not assume that there will be a significant breakthrough in the peace talks before he did not speak directly to Putin.
