A night of terror.
Russia struck the Ukrainian capital in the middle of the night, unleashing a hail of drones and missiles.
Its goal: to sow fear, kill, and destroy.
Dozens of residential buildings were hit. One apartment building was gutted, reduced to rubble. Civilians were killed in their sleep.
At least eight dead, including a six-year-old boy and his mother. Dozens injured.
Dnipro, Poltava, Sumy, Mykolaiv, and the Kyiv region were also targeted.
More than 300 drones and eight missiles were launched across Ukraine in a single night.
These are not mistakes. These are deliberate assassinations.
The Russians are openly defying the world. And while Ukraine seeks a path to peace, Russia continues its war of terror.
We must mobilize all available levers to force it to negotiate seriously. The West has the means. It’s time to use them.
