Zelenskyy Calls for More Pressure on Russia After Deadly Missile Strike in Ukrainian Capital Kyiv
- A combined drone and missile attack struck Kyiv early Tuesday, killing 28 people and wounding 142, marking the deadliest assault this year.
- The attack followed weeks of intensified long-range strikes by Russia targeting urban residential areas amid an ongoing summer offensive along a roughly 1,000-kilometre frontline.
- On Thursday morning, President Zelenskyy visited the site of the missile strike that caused a nine-story residential building to collapse in Kyiv, honoring the 23 individuals who lost their lives in the tragedy.
- Zelenskyy stated on Telegram that the recent strike highlights Russia’s refusal to agree to a ceasefire and its preference for continuing violence, and he expressed gratitude to Ukraine’s allies who are prepared to increase pressure on Moscow to make it bear the true consequences of the conflict.
- Meanwhile, a prisoner exchange occurred Thursday in Ukraine's Chernihiv region, repatriating POWs suffering severe health issues after prolonged captivity, while Russia's Defense Ministry confirmed the swap with footage from Belarus.
