The Ukraine war with Russia is escalating as. Russia launched its largest aerial offensive against Ukraine early Sunday.
The strike was in central Kyiv and igniting a fire at the Ukrainian cabinet headquarters.
Authorities confirmed that the overnight bombardment resulted in at least six fatalities and numerous injuries.
Eyewitnesses reported a massive blaze engulfing the top of the Cabinet of Ministers building in Kyiv, with helicopters seen attempting to douse the flames. Emergency services confirmed multiple high-rise buildings were also damaged by drone strikes.
The Ukrainian Air Force stated that Russia deployed a record-breaking 810 drones and 13 missiles during the assault. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack as a deliberate attempt to prolong the war, accusing Russia of obstructing any chance of diplomatic resolution.
“This aggression is not just destruction—it’s a strategic move to delay peace and deepen the suffering of our people,” Zelensky said in a public statement.
Russia claimed responsibility for striking Ukrainian “military-industrial and transport infrastructure,” but did not acknowledge the direct hit on the government building
