Russia's latest assault on Ukraine has resulted in the deaths of six people and left dozens more injured. The assault targeted the city of Kyiv, causing widespread destruction and leaving over 400,000 households without power.
The Ukrainian government condemned Russia's actions as part of its "war plan" to kill and destroy. According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Russia launched about 36 missiles and nearly 600 drones in the attack, with the majority landing on residential buildings and infrastructure.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported that at least 29 people were wounded, many due to falling debris from intercepted Russian drones. The city's western part lost power following strikes on its grid.
EU Ambassador Katarina Mathernova expressed skepticism about Russia's stated interest in a peace deal, saying that instead Moscow is pursuing "missiles, not diplomacy."
Meanwhile, Zelenskyy has led his negotiating team to the United States in an effort to secure a "dignified peace" and an end to the war. The Ukrainian delegation includes former defence chief Rustem Umerov, who will be meeting with US officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
On the military front, Ukraine has launched strikes against Russia's "shadow fleet", a collection of tankers used to export oil around the world while evading Western sanctions. The Ukrainian Security Service carried out the operation using marine drones, causing significant damage to the vessels.

another day, more civilians caught in middle of global conflict 
400k without power in Kyiv, what's next? 
OMG you guys its like crazy on the Ukraine front! 
Russia just dropped 36 missiles and 600+ drones on Kyiv and its like total chaos 
they hit residential buildings and infrastructure leaving over 400k households without power 
also the city's western part is still in the dark due to strikes on their grid 
but Ukraine just took them down with marine drones! 
they called it an op against "shadow fleet" 
Katarina Mathernova said they're more into missiles than diplomacy 
they're meeting with US officials including Marco Rubio & Jared Kushner 
. And let's be real, 400,000 households without power? That's a big deal 
. If Russia was really interested in talking things through, wouldn't they be making more of an effort to explain what that means and how it would work? I don't see any real progress on that front 
.
. The US is over here trying to broker some kind of peace deal, but Russia seems more interested in flexing its military muscle 
. And Ukraine? They're just trying to survive and get their country back on its feet 
.
it's all about diplomacy and not missiles 
is it really worth it for Russia to risk their own people's lives over some kind of territorial dispute? Meanwhile, Ukraine's trying to find a way out & get a dignified peace – can't we just support them on this?!
