Russia's deadly strike: 400+ drones and 40 ballistic missiles wreak havoc on Ukraine, Zelensky expressed deep concer

Kiev: The Russia-Ukraine war has once again taken a dangerous turn. Russia launched a fierce attack on Ukraine overnight with more than 400 drones and 40 ballistic missiles, causing devastation in many cities including the Ukrainian capital Kiev. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called the attack "the most brutal blow of the war" and demanded immediate intervention from the international community.

Attack details

Russia fired cruise missiles from its TU-95MS strategic bombers, after which an airstrike warning was issued in all regions of Ukraine. A drone attack on a 16-storey residential building in the Solomiansky district of Kiev caused a fire, in which three people were rescued but several were injured. The attack damaged several residential buildings and had a serious impact on the infrastructure.

This attack by Russia is believed to be in response to Ukraine's recent "Operation Spider Web", which targeted five Russian airbases. Russian President Vladimir Putin had described the operation as a "provocative action" and warned of severe retaliation.

Zelensky's statement

Ukrainian President Zelensky expressed deep concern over the attack and said, "This attack by Russia is a threat not only to Ukraine, but to global peace." He demanded more military assistance from the international community and strict sanctions on Russia. Zelensky also alleged that China was supplying weapons to Russia, which Beijing has rejected.

Global reaction and warning of World War 3

Russia's ambassador to Britain, Andrei Kelin, held Britain partly responsible for Ukraine's Operation Spider Web and warned that it could be an attempt to "ignite a third world war". This statement has further escalated global tensions.

Deadlock in peace talks

Recent peace talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul ended without any result. Russia rejected Ukraine's demands that its terms amounted to "surrender". The two sides could only agree on the exchange of prisoners of war and the return of the bodies of dead soldiers.

Russia's 'Satan' missile RS-28 SARMAT

Russia recently announced the deployment of its deadly intercontinental ballistic missile RS-28 SARMAT, also known as "Satan-2". This missile is considered a threat to global stability and can become a major threat to Ukraine.

What next?

The Russia-Ukraine war is now in its third year, and recent attacks have further diminished hopes for peace. Experts believe that Russia's military action and Ukraine's retaliation are making both sides more aggressive. The international community is now looking for new ways to stop this war, but the escalation of tensions is threatening global peace.

Conclusion

This latest attack by Russia is a warning not only for Ukraine, but for the entire world. This war has now become more complicated between Zelensky's appeal and Russia's aggression. Is this war heading towards the Third World War, or is there any hope for peace left? This question remains unanswered.
