KYIV: Russia fired more than 30 missiles at Kyiv early on Thursday , the largest attack on the Ukrainian capital in weeks after Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed retribution for escalating strikes on Russia's border regions.
"This protection is required in Ukraine now. From Kyiv to Kharkiv, Sumy to Kherson, and Odesa to the Donetsk region. This is entirely possible if our partners demonstrate sufficient political will." "Our defenders worked successfully and shot down all the missiles," said Oleksiy Kuleba, the deputy head of Zelensky's office.
Russia's defence ministry said Thursday that it had targeted Ukrainian military sites with"long-range high-precision weapons, including Kinzhal hypersonic missiles." On Wednesday he vowed to restore"security" to the border areas and said that Russia had a"plan" to delivery victory against Kyiv. At least five were killed in a missile strike on the northeastern city of Kharkiv on Wednesday, and 21 were killed in a strike on the Black Sea port city of Odesa last week.
