Firefighters tackle to blaze left by Russia’s missile attacks
NATO were forced to scramble warplanes overnight as Russia launched “murderous” strikes across Ukraine. At least ten people were killed and more than 70 wounded in the attacks on capital city Kyiv.
Two children were missing amidst the rubble of apartment buildings and at least 43 people were hospitalised, including six children.
Vladimir Putin’s armed forces also hit Kharkiv, Poltava region, Pavlohrad, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and Zhytomyr.
The strikes claimed dozens of civilian victims, and were happening even as Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff was reportedly due in Moscow by Friday for peace talks.
President Trump had recently claimed Putin was ready for peace, while blaming Zelensky for blocking a deal.
Yet the carnage in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities showed a different reality as Putin deployed Tu-95MS nuclear capable strategic bombers and lethal drones.
The Polish operational command announced it had scrambled its own and NATO aircraft due to the intensity of the Putin bombardment in Ukraine.
