injured and damage
According to the authorities of Kyjiw, at least 11 people were injured in the attacks on Thursday's attacks on Thursday, with a large number of drones and marching air bodies.

Tkachenko asked the residents to stay in shelters and avoid windows and balconies, while the air defense systems in Ukraine tried to ward off the attack. "Property can be restored, but not human life," said Tkachenko.
increasing attacks and setbacks in peace negotiations
Russia has significantly reinforced its air raids to Ukraine in recent weeks and has been carrying out almost nightly attacks with hundreds of drones and cruises. At the same time, the efforts for a peace agreement have lost speed, which triggered frustration in the White House. US President Trump criticized Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday. "We get a lot of nonsense from Putin if you want to know the truth," said Trump in a cabinet meeting. "He's very nice all the time, but it turns out that it is meaningless."
reaction Moscow to Trump
The continuing attack of Russia in the past few days has created new urgency about the questions about Washington's commitment to defend Ukraine, since the city's Trump administration has promised additional defensive weapons, which indicates an obviously changed policy. Moscow played down the sharp words of Trump in a press conference on Wednesday. A spokesman for the Kremlin said that Russia reacted “calmly” to the criticism, and added: “Trump generally uses a rather hard style and expressions.” Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman, emphasized that Moscow would like to continue dialogue with Washington.
international exchange and human rights violations
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is expected on Thursday on the edge of the Asean summit in Malaysia to meet his Russian counterpart Sergey Lavrov. After the record -breaking drone attack on Wednesday, the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj said that “there were so many attempts to achieve peace and convey fire breaks, but rejected Russia.”
judgment of the European Court of Human Rights
The attack on Kyjiw on Thursday will follow a pioneering judgment of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) on Wednesday, which found that Russia committed significant violations of international law in Ukraine. In four cases regarding the Russian military operations in Ukraine, the ECHR decided since 2022 and the conflict in the east of Ukraine, which began in 2014 and includes the shooting of the Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17. He found that Russia has committed a pattern of human rights violations in Ukraine in February 2022 since the beginning of his comprehensive invasion in February 2022 and was also responsible for the shooting of the MH17 flight in 2014. Moscow has repeatedly denied responsibility for the destruction of MH17, in which 298 people were killed.
