Russian missiles pound Ukraine, damage EU and British offices

简介：

Russia launched one of its largest strikes since the 2022 invasion, hitting Kyiv and other cities with missiles and drones on Thursday, killing at least 23 and wounding dozens. Explosions damaged homes, infrastructure, and foreign diplomatic sites, though Russia claimed it targeted military facilities. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said the assault was Moscow’s response to peace efforts following U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent summit with Vladimir Putin. The U.S., EU, and Britain condemned the strikes, while Washington acknowledged Trump’s peace push had been undermined, Reuters has reported. Despite rising civilian casualties, Moscow insists it does not target noncombatants and says it remains open to talks.
