1lurer.am Kyiv has called on its Western partners to make immediate decisions regarding the strengthening of air defense and sanctions following the large-scale missile and drone attack carried out by Russia on the Ukrainian capital, which resulted in the deaths of more than 30 people. The number of casualties is expected to rise.
The strikes targeted residential buildings and civilian infrastructure, and emergency services continue their search and rescue operations.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba has urged the country's Western partners to expedite the supply of air defense systems and interceptor missiles, warning of further delays. Ukrainian diplomatic sources have informed Euronews that information about the nighttime attacks has been relayed to NATO allies, who will gather in Ankara next week for the alliance's summit.
At the same time, Russia has not indicated any willingness to change its course. Following the latest strike on Kyiv, the Kremlin announced its intention to intensify its campaign against Ukraine.
“Russia will continue to increase pressure on the Kyiv regime to achieve its goals,” said presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov to reporters.
