"Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday, discussing measures to bolster Ukraine's defenses hours after a massive Russian air assault that included a strike on a key government building in Kyiv. The drone and missile barrage on the capital and other cities left at least four people dead and more than 44 injured, Zelenskiy said in the Telegram post on Sunday. Ukraine's president and Macron discussed coordinated diplomatic efforts and next steps with partners to ensure an appropriate response, according to his post. Together with France, Ukraine is preparing new measures to strengthen its defenses, Zelenskiy said."
"Ukraine and its capital came under its largest drone and missile assault to date as Moscow shows little willingness to stop the 3 1/2-year war, and as European leaders fear it's instead preparing a new offensive, rejecting overtures for peace lead by US President Donald Trump. Kremlin forces struck the government complex in Kyiv for the first time early Sunday in what Ukraine's foreign minister called a serious escalation of the conflict. Smoke was seen billowing from the huge Cabinet of Ministers building in central Kyiv. The structure sustained damage to its roof and upper floors and crews extinguished a blaze, Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko said in a post on X."
A massive Russian drone and missile assault struck Kyiv and multiple Ukrainian cities, causing at least four deaths and more than 44 injuries. The Cabinet of Ministers building in central Kyiv sustained roof and upper-floor damage and firefighters extinguished a blaze. Over 800 drones and 13 missiles, including four ballistic missiles, were launched across the country, with most intercepted or jammed. Several drones appear to have crossed from Belarus. France and EU partners are coordinating diplomatic efforts and preparing measures to strengthen Ukraine's defenses amid fears Moscow may be preparing a new offensive.
