Kremlin talks of new 'paradigm' in Ukraine war, accusing Kyiv of 'acts of terror'

Russia says it launched 73 missiles and 656 drones overnight after accusing Kyiv of terror attacks, as peace talks remain on hold.

  • On Tuesday, the Kremlin declared the war in Ukraine has entered a "different paradigm" due to what Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called "inhumane acts of terror" carried out by Kyiv's military against civilians.
  • Russian officials justified the escalation as retaliation for a devastating drone strike on a student dormitory in Russian-held Luhansk last month that killed 21 people; Ukraine denies targeting the facility, claiming it struck a drone command center.
  • The Ukrainian Air Force reported Russia launched 73 missiles and 656 drones overnight, with strikes recorded at 38 locations across Ukraine, primarily targeting Kyiv and infrastructure in the northeastern Kharkiv region.
  • In Kyiv, Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported four deaths and 58 injuries, while regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha confirmed six fatalities and 36 injured in Dnipro, with hospitals treating dozens including children.
  • Moscow previously threatened "systematic strikes" against what it termed Ukraine's "decision-making centers," while Ukraine continues targeting Russian oil infrastructure and Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets characterizes the assault as terror against civilians.
