Politics and diplomacy
Jake Sullivan, the US National Security adviser, stated President Biden’s focus on strengthening Ukraine against Russia. Zelenskyy seeks support for striking Russian air bases after the Kharkiv attack. Britain’s Foreign Secretary criticized Putin’s threats. Ukrainian spy chief highlighted challenges from Russia-Ukraine war weapons and North Korean ammunition.
The attack occurred in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv when a Russian-guided bomb hit a multi-storey residential building. Ihor Terekhov, the city mayor, reported on Monday that at least 41 people were injured and one person died when a bomb hit the 10th floor of a building. The fire spread to four storeys because the three floors above the impact site had a non-fire-resistant coating. Prosecutors in Kharkiv found the body of a 94-year-old woman on the ninth floor of the building. Terekhov said twelve other buildings suffered damage, apart from this building.
“RESUCE ACTIONS AT A BUILDING IN KHARKIV RESUME.
People are trapped under the rubble. In all, three kids and 35 injured, ” President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said in a night message to the nation on Sunday. “In this one air raid on Kharkiv, four air bombs were released. One targeted the building within the city and the other three struck rural villages across the region,” he told Reuters. Russia has not immediately commented on a request made by Reuters for comment about the attack but has previously denied targeting civilians in any form despite killing thousands of them since beginning its invasion of Ukraine in 2022.
Zelenskiy said on Sunday for the fifth day running that the west needed to change its policy regarding the employment of weapons with a long range, as Russia had launched at least 100 attacks similar to the one targeting Kharkiv every day. “The only instrument to counter this terror is a systemic one – long-range capabilities to destroy Russian military aviation at its bases. That’s an obvious and logical solution.”. We have explained to all our partners why Ukraine properly needs sufficient long-range capabilities, he said on X.
Moscow and Kyiv traded drone and missile attacks over the weekend. The Ukrainian Air Force said on Sunday it shot down 10 of the 14 drones and one of the three missiles Russia launched overnight. Meanwhile, the Russian defense ministry said Saturday that it had shot down 29 Ukrainian drones overnight into Sunday over western and southwest regions, with no damage caused by falling debris. It also reported another Ukrainian drone was shot down on Sunday morning over the western Ryazan region.
