Russia launched another huge attack overnight across Ukraine, with President Voludimir Zelensky Moscow of withdrawing peace negotiations and pushed to hold new meetings with American and European allies.
The last strikes caused at least two people and the other dozens were injured on Friday night, according to Ukrainian officials, while the air force in the country stated this. 582 drones and missiles were launched throughout the country, and the vast majority intercepted.
“Eight people were transferred to the hospital, including two children, a 10 -year -old boy, and a 16 -year -old girl,” said Evan Fedorov, the ruler of the Zaburisia region in Ukraine.
The attack came in a massive attack on Thursday on the capital Kiev, which Zelesky said that at least 25 people were killed – including four children – who were wounded more and reduced energy to 60,000 residents.
The authorities in the capital announced on Friday an official mourning day.
The latest bombing is among the most bombing that hit Ukraine during a 3/2 -year war, which confirms Russia’s escalating tactics and international mediation paralysis despite weeks of negotiations and diplomacy.
President Donald Trump hosted his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in Alaska to get the top of a storm two weeks ago aimed at penetrating the impasse in the war. Then European leaders traveled to the Oval Office to discuss security guarantees for Ukraine.
Trump has ever pushed to arrange a summit between Zelinski and Putin, but peace talks stopped amid a major bombing of Ukraine by Russia, which took place at a meeting.
On Friday, Zelinski accused Moscow of standing by insisting that the minimum officials complement the foundation before any summit between Putin and Zelinski.
This logic, told reporters in Kiev, “artificially … because they want to show the United States that it is constructive, but it is not a constant.”
Zelinski said he hoped at the meeting next week with Trump and European leaders to revive the stalled peace efforts.
Trump, who felt frustrated by Putin’s delay in direct conversations with Zelinski, said a week ago he expected to decide the next steps within two weeks if he was not identified directly.
At an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Friday, the United States warned Russia against moving towards peace, meeting with Ukraine, or facing possible sanctions. The meeting was called after Russian missiles and the attack on drones on Kyiv.
Ukraine accepted an American shooting suggestion and a summit between Zelinski and Putin, but Moscow sparked objections.
Meanwhile, the Trump administration has approved $ 825 million in weapons package on Thursday, including extended range missiles to strengthen Ukraine’s defenses.
The Foreign Ministry said on Thursday that it had informed Congress of sale, and that Ukraine would use funding from NATO allies in addition to American foreign military financing to pay the costs of equipment.
