Russia’s Massive Drone Strike on Zelensky’s Hometown: Analysis and Reactions
Overnight, Russia launched a large-scale drone and missile attack on key regions in Ukraine, targeting cities like Odesa, Kharkiv, and Kryvyi Rih, resulting in infrastructure damage and casualties. Ukrainian forces intercepted a significant number of the drones, while lawmakers in Kyiv approved increased defense spending and a cabinet reshuffle occurred. The attacks follow a shift in US policy, with a new package of weaponry for Ukraine and threats of economic sanctions against Russia. The Kremlin responded to these developments, closely monitoring the Western long-range missile deliveries and considering them a signal to continue the conflict.
