Ukrainian officials said that at least six people were killed and more than 50 people were injured by the shooting of Russian drones and missiles who hit various areas of the key and destroyed apartment blocks.
One of the deaths was a six -year -old boy, and Tymur tkachenko, the head of the military administration of KYIV, said he could increase the number of deaths and could be damaged in more than 20 regions.
Russian drones’ high buzzing sounds were able to spend hours in the capital for several hours and were sometimes stopped due to a large Thunder applause of missile strikes.
Russia’s attack continued despite the threat of US President Donald Trump’s threat to sanctions Moscow if he did not agree with the armistice until August 8th.
According to the Ukrainian Air Force, Russia fired 309 drones and cruise missiles during the night, and aviation defense destroyed some of the incoming fire, but there were numerous hits.
Red orange light showed destruction on the ground.
Igor Klymenko, Ukraine, said, “One of the strikes has hit a residential high -rise building and the entire entrance has been destroyed.
Three of the deaths were on the site of the apartment block.
President Volodymyr Zelensky said, “The world again saw Russia’s response to the desire for peace in the United States and Europe.” This is why it is impossible to have powerless peace. “
According to Klymenko, KYIV’s sviaatoshynsky and solomyansky districts were the biggest hit in the attack, one person died and 20 people were injured.
The window of the hospital ward for children in the Shevchenkivsky area was flew by the shock wave, the KYIV market, Vitali Klitschko, said in the telegram.
One of KYIV’s higher education institutions, schools and kindergartens was also damaged during attacks.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said in KYIV that “terrible morning” and “there are still people under the debris.”
Sybiha added that Trump was “very generous and patient” with Putin, but now it is time to “maximum pressure on Moscow” through sanctions.
In early July, Trump set up a 50 -day deadline for Kremlin to reach ceasefire or economic punishment with KYIV.
On Monday, while visiting the United Kingdom, Trump has reduced the deadline to “10 or 12 days”, and has been approved for Putin’s actions in Ukraine three years after Moscow began its full invasion.
Trump did not say whether the Russian president felt “lied”, but in a one -on -one conversation, there was a mismatch between Putin’s investigation and the Ukrainian missile “Rabd”.
Trump said, “We will have a truce and peace.
