Kyiv, Ukraine: Ukraine has shown reporters fragments of the missile it says hit a key government building in Kyiv this weekend, identifying it as a Russian Iskander cruise missile. Officials here now believe the building was struck deliberately in the early hours of Sunday morning.
Vladimir Putin's response to Donald Trump's peace efforts has been a clear escalation in Russian attacks. But they don't only target the Ukrainian capital.
In the eastern Donbas region, more than 20 civilians were killed by a Russian glide bomb on Tuesday as they queued to collect their pensions. Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the strike on the village of Yarova as savage and called once again on Ukraine's allies to increase the pressure on Moscow through sanctions.
His office said some US and European weapons components are still reaching Russia, including for the Iskander missile. Moscow has already substituted the rest with its own production.
Strong actions are needed to make Russia stop bringing death, Ukraine's president wrote.
Our team was filming on Sunday morning during the air raid on central Kyiv and captured the moment the cabinet of ministers was hit. There is no indication of it being intercepted by air defenses.
Images of detonated destruction in the government building revealed a missile packed with over 100kg of explosives, resulting in substantial damage across three floors. Fragments of the missile have been collected as evidence, showcasing the advanced technologies now utilized by Russia.
Russian tactics have shifted, with increased drone attacks and glide bombs targeting population centers, demonstrating a brutal strategy of overwhelming Ukraine's air defense systems.
Zelensky points out these targeted strikes as part of a wider threat, emphasizing the need for international support. Ukrainian officials have reported a decrease in Western components in Russian missiles amid increased domestic production capabilities.
As calls for heightened military support intensify worldwide, the impact of these aerial offensives continues to devastate civilian populations, bringing into question the effectiveness of current defense measures against such sophisticated strikes.
