Russian forces have a large-scale drone and rocket attack on Kiev on Kiev, in which at least 15 people are killed and injured 38, while the residential and other buildings are damaged in seven districts, say Ukrainian officers.
The Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zenskyy said that the attack, who also killed a child, showed the answer of the world Russia to diplomacy in the midst of efforts by US President Donald Trump to end the war.
“Russia chooses Ballistics instead of the negotiating table,” Zelenskyy said on Thursday and called for new sanctions against Russia. “It chooses to keep killing instead of ending the war.”
The Kremlin said on Thursday that it was still interested in pursuing peace talks about Ukraine despite the fatal strikes.

Asked if there was a contradiction between the indicated desire of Moscow to make progress in peace talks and the attack, spokesperson for Kremlin Dmitry Peskov reporters said that both parties continued to attack each other, but that Russia was still interested in achieving his goals through diplomacy.

Mayor one of the biggest attacks on Kyiv, says mayor

KYIV City authorities reported at least 38 injuries when the search and rescue operations were underway, with emergency services that remained the fires and sawing through the rubble of destroyed buildings.
Explosions illuminated the nocturnal sky in the capital during the air alarm, which lasted more than nine hours, with clouds of smoke covering the air while drones buzzed above the head.
Mayor Vitali Klitschko described it as one of the biggest attacks on the city in recent months.

Ukraine Air Force said that with 563 of 598 drones and 26 of 31 missiles, Russia ran in a national attack. The Air Force registered hits at 13 locations and debris fall at 26 locations.

“Unfortunately, the style of the Russians is typical of their attacks,” wrote Tymur Tkachenko, head of the military administration of Kyiv, on Telegram.
“Combined strikes, from different directions. And systematically, focused on ordinary residential buildings.”
The Russian Ministry of Defense said that the attack was struck military industrial facilities and military air bases.
Moscow has regularly denied that they focus on citizens, but dozens have died in recent months because it has increased strikes in densely populated areas far from the front line of the war.

Ukrainian officials mentioned countless buildings that had been damaged, including various high -quality apartment buildings.

In the Darnytskyi district, an eastern suburb, a five -storey building was partially destroyed, Tkachenko said, and rescue teams were looking for the rubble for captured residents.

Emergency services are tackled the aftermath of attacks at more than 20 locations in the capital, he said.

Ukrainian attacks on Russia will also continue

Separately, the Ministry of Defense of Moscow said that Russian air defense systems intercepted and destroyed 102 Ukrainian drones at night, which had focused on at least seven regions.
During the overnight attack, the troops of Ukraine Afipssky and Kuybyshevskyi attacked oil refineries, according to the Ukrainian drone forces forces.
Russia confirmed that one of the refineries was hit and that a fire had been brought.
When asked about the refinery attacks, Peskov said that the domestic fuel market in Russia was fully delivered and that the situation was under control.
The spokesperson for Kremlin also hit back to accusations of Russia who focused on citizens and said that Russia successfully reached military and military -related infrastructure and that the strikes of Ukraine also include attacks on civil infrastructure.
“You can see that strikes on the Russian infrastructure, often about the Russian civil infrastructure, also continue through the KYIV regime,” he said.
