Eight was killed in the pioneering Kyiv attack, says Zellinski

Ukraine President Voludmir Zelinski said on Thursday that eight people were killed in Kiev, including a child, after a heavy Russian bombing overnight.

Interior Minister Ih Klainico said in a telegram that the dead included two children, while the mayor of Kiev Vitaly Klitschko said that at least 38 people were injured in the “huge” drone and missiles.

In a statement issued by X, Zelensky said that Kremlin chose “projectiles instead of the negotiating table”, and repeated the need for “difficult new sanctions” on Russia.

The missile wave comes after it left more than 100,000 Ukrainian homes without strength by Russian drone attacks on the energy infrastructure on Wednesday.

In a post on Telegram, Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv Military Department, said that one of the children who were killed was a 14 -year -old girl. At least five children were injured in the latest drone strikes.

He pointed out that more than 20 areas were targeted, as many buildings, including kindergarten, were shot.

Three and a half years after Russia has been widely invaded to Ukraine, fighting on the ground does not show any sign of abandonment.

The last international effort was launched to achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine by US President Donald Trump earlier this month. His Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin In Alaska and Zelinski with European leaders In Washington.

Trump was pressing for the top of Putin Zelinsky. Ukraine president supported this step, but sought security guarantees from Western allies to prevent any future Russian attack in a peace agreement.

On Tuesday, Zelinski met the head of the British Armed Forces, Admiral Tony Radakin, in Kiev, where they discussed efforts to end the war.

The US Steve Witkev’s private envoy said he will meet Ukrainian representatives in New York this week, and he tells Fox News, “We are talking to the Russians every day.”

The head of the European Union’s foreign policy, Kaja Calas, warned that handing over the Ukrainian lands to Russia as part of the peace agreement “trap”.
