Russia has delivered the heaviest blows since the start of the war in Ukraine.
Extremely worrying and sharp reports continue to arrive from the battlefield in Ukraine. Zamin.uz reported on this.
On the night leading into Sunday, Russian forces launched one of the most powerful and destructive air attacks on the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, and its surrounding areas since the start of the war. This attack differed fundamentally from previous ones in terms of scale and the types of weapons used.
A rain of hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles and modern missiles was poured over the city where civilians live. According to official Ukrainian sources, the only thing not used in the sky over the capital during this horrific night was nuclear weapons.
Details of the critical situation and the international community's reaction are causing widespread discussion. In this attack, Russia deployed its most modern and hypersonic weapons.
It is reported that along with terrifying missiles such as Kinzhal, Iskander, and Zircon, the new Oreshnik ballistic missile was also used during the air raid. According to reports, this missile landed in the Bila Tserkva district of the Kyiv region.
As a result of the heavy strike, ordinary garages and residential properties suffered serious damage. On social networks, local residents are reacting to the events with bitter irony.
Ukrainian publications claim that two missiles were actually fired that night, but one of them went off course and fell into territory controlled by Russia itself. While the Russian Ministry of Defense interprets these mass strikes as a response measure, international experts evaluate this as another act of revenge for drone attacks launched against Moscow.
The scale of the damage observed is very high. Powerful explosions occurred in dozens of areas of Kyiv.
Water supply facilities, social facilities, schools, and markets were damaged as a result of the strikes. Additionally, the buildings of the National Art Museum of Ukraine and the Kyiv Opera House were also damaged.
Although Ukrainian military personnel have gained experience in shooting down drones, a shortage of interceptors in the air defense systems was felt when repelling ballistic missiles. Russian officials stated that from now on, strikes may be directed at decision-making centers, including areas where the presidential administration is located.
The Kremlin urged foreign citizens to leave Kyiv immediately and local residents to stay away from military facilities. Politicians in Russia who support the war are warning that the situation will escalate further.
Such statements further complicate the situation in the region and call into question the prospects for peace negotiations. The international community is seriously concerned about the increasing human casualties.
