Russian strikes on Kyiv have escalated, resulting in at least five fatalities and numerous injuries. The attacks included a drone strike on the We Are Ukraine TV channel, which injured journalists during a live broadcast. President Zelensky condemned the assault, stating, "Today, Russia carried out a strike on the media, journalists."
The drone attack was characterized by Zelensky as a "new page in Russian degradation", highlighting the deliberate targeting of the press. Footage released by the channel confirmed the attack's intent, stating, "This was not an accidental strike, but a deliberate attack targeting journalists."
The strikes also impacted residential areas, with a five-storey building in the Solomianskyi district suffering damage, and vehicles igniting in the Podilskyi district. In a separate incident, a passenger train attack in southern Ukraine resulted in the death of a female employee.
Zelensky reiterated the need for international support, asserting, "Russia must be stopped, and this is possible only through joint efforts." The ongoing violence follows a brief agreement between both nations to halt strikes on each other's capitals, which ended without significant progress during recent diplomatic talks.
“The overnight explosions killed three and injured 25, according to DSNS, while a separate attack on a passenger train in southern Ukraine killed a female employee. Putin and Trump held 'constructive and very frank' phone talks lasting an hour, Moscow said.”
