Three killed at “massive” Russian blows to Ukraine, says Zelenski

Russia has launched large -scale drones and rockets for the capital of Ukraine and other parts of the country early on Friday, employees said.

At least three people were killed and 49 were injured in strikes, according to Ukraine President Volodimir Zelenski.

The air raids are directed to Kiev, as well as the city of Lutsk and the Ternofil region in the northwestern part of the country.

The attack came after Russian President Vladimir Putin warned US President Donald Trump He will respond to Ukraine’s last blows to Russian airbases.

“Three deaths have been confirmed at the moment – they were all employees of the Civil Service for Ukraine’s Emergency Aid,” Zelenski said.

He said the attack used more than 400 drones and more than 40 rockets, and the number of injured people “can increase”.

In an early statement, Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said four people were killed in the country’s capital.

There were existing air attack signals in the capital, as well as the cities of Harkiv, Sums and Luhansk. KYIV’s train system was interrupted after firing metro damage.

Outside the capital, the military chief of Ternopil Vyacheslav Nevida said the strike on Friday was “the most massive air attack on our region to date.”

The mayor of Ternopil, Igol Polchuk, said five people were injured in the attack and had damage to the homes, schools and the government facility.

In Lutzk, five people were injured in an attack using 15 drones and six rockets, according to Mayor Ihor Silchuk.

Meanwhile, the Russian Ministry of Defense said its air defense removed 174 Ukrainian drones overnight in parts of Russia and occupied Crimea.

The ministry said over the Neptune missiles were also caught over the Black Sea.

In a publication by X Zelenski, he called on the United States, Europe and “All in the World” to put pressure on Russia, saying that it is not doing so is “giving war more time to take away life – this is complicity and accountability.”

Russia’s last attack against Ukraine comes days after Kiev began his biggest long-distance punch at at least 40 Russian military aircraft at four military bases.

Zelenski said 117 drones were used The so -called Operation “Spider’s Spider” From the SBU Security Service, hitting “34% of (Russia) strategic rocket carriers”.

Earlier this month, direct peace talks between Russia and Ukraine took place in Istanbul, but ended without a major breakthrough.

Ukrainian negotiators said Russia has rejected “unconditional cessation of fire” – a key request of Kiev and its Western allies, including the United States.

The Russian team said they had offered a two- or three-day truce “in certain areas” on the huge front line, but did not give more details.

Trump said Putin swore to “very strongly” to respond to Ukraine’s recent attack against Russian airbases, during a telephone call, which lasted more than an hour on Wednesday.

Earlier, Moscow said that the military variants were “on the table” because of his response to Ukraine’s attack.

Last week, Trump seemed to set a two -week period for Putin, threatening to change the way the United States responds to Russia if he believes that Putin is still “tapping” him for peaceful efforts in Ukraine.
