A devastating barrage of Russian missiles and drones has struck the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, killing at least 11 people and causing widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure. The attack, which was one of the most intense in recent weeks, has been condemned by the international community, with leaders calling for an immediate end to the violence. The Ukrainian military has reported that it shot down several incoming missiles, but many others evaded its defenses, hitting residential areas and critical infrastructure. The city’s emergency services are working to rescue those trapped under the rubble and provide aid to the injured. The attack has sparked outrage and frustration among Ukrainians, who are demanding greater protection from their government and the international community. The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has resulted in thousands of civilian casualties and displaced millions of people, with no end in sight to the fighting. As the humanitarian crisis deepens, the need for a negotiated settlement to the conflict is becoming increasingly urgent.
