At least eight people have been killed, including a six year old child in Kyiv, in the latest wave of missile and drone strikes in Ukraine. More than 80 others have been injured, according to authorities.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said there were more than 300 drones and eight missiles launched on Ukraine overnight.
A video showcasing the aftermath of the strikes was shared by Zelenskyy. He explained that people were still trapped under debris of a nine-storey building that collapsed from the bombardment.
"It's a horrible morning in Kyiv. The brutal Russian strikes destroyed entire residential buildings and damaged schools and hospitals," Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha posted on X.
Around twenty seven locations in the capital city were struck according to officials.
Russia has in recent months intensified aerial attacks on areas in Ukraine located far from the front lines of the conflict, while denying targeting civilians. The attacks have been ongoing during the last three and-a-half-years.
This week U.S. President Donald Trump tightened the deadline to 10-12 days for Russian President Vladimir Putin to make progress toward ending the war. Previously, he gave President Putin 50 days to agree a ceasefire.
Sybiha said, "President Trump has been very generous and very patient with Putin, trying to find a solution," adding that "Putin does it on purpose."
"Today, the world once again saw Russia's response to our desire for peace, shared with America and Europe," Zelenskyy posted on X.
According to Kremlin sources cited by Reuters, President Putin maintains that Moscow would agree to a ceasefire only if Ukraine accepts Russia's core demands. These include recognising Russian control of occupied territories, abandoning NATO ambitions, adopting neutrality, reducing its military, protecting Russian speakers, and lifting Western sanctions.
