Kyiv was left smoldering after an unprecedented overnight assault by Russian forces involving 11 missiles and a record 550 drones.
Despite Ukraine’s air defenses, 72 drones penetrated the city, causing widespread destruction, fires, and chaos.
At least 23 people were injured and one woman killed near the border in a related attack.
The relentless bombardment lasted over eight hours, shattering hopes for a ceasefire following a tense phone call between Presidents Putin and Trump.
Ukrainian leaders condemn the strikes as some of the worst since the war began, while warning that halted U.S. weapon shipments could severely impact Ukraine’s defense capabilities.
Firefighters continue to battle massive blazes across the capital as the conflict escalates.
