Ukraine has shown reporters fragments of the missile it says hit a key government building in Kyiv this weekend, identifying it as a Russian Iskander cruise missile. Officials believe the building was struck deliberately in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Vladimir Putin's response to Donald Trump's peace efforts has been a clear escalation in Russian attacks, which not only target the Ukrainian capital but also the eastern Donbas region, where more than 20 civilians were killed by a Russian glide bomb on Tuesday.
President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strike on the village of Yarova as 'savage', calling for increased pressure on Moscow through international sanctions. He emphasized the need for stronger actions to make Russia halt its deadly offensives.
Reports indicate that some US and European weapons components continue reaching Russia, complicating the conflict dynamics.
The missile, packed with more than 100 kg (220 lb) of explosives, did not detonate fully, limiting damage to three floors of the government building. However, the severity of the attacks and the fear they instill in civilians have raised alarms in Ukraine.
Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha labeled the recent attacks as barbaric and heinous crimes against the civilians, urging the world to respond decisively.
As drone assaults increase, the Ukrainian military struggles with inadequate air defense systems, making it difficult to intercept incoming threats. The calls for more advanced weaponry from allies grow louder amidst the intensifying conflict, highlighting the precarious situation in Ukraine as the war escalates to new levels of violence.
