Record Russian Barrage Hits Kyiv Government Complex as Trump Signals New Sanctions

Kyiv seeks tougher sanctions, more air defenses after the record strike.

Overview

  • Ukrainian authorities say Russia launched about 810 drones and 13 missiles in the war’s largest attack, with a strike setting the Cabinet of Ministers building ablaze for the first time.
  • At least four civilians were killed, including an infant, and dozens were wounded nationwide as hours-long air raid alerts sounded in the capital.
  • Ukraine reports intercepting 747 drones and four missiles, yet strikes still damaged residential blocks and infrastructure in Kyiv, Odesa, Zaporizhzhia, Kryvyi Rih, Sumy and Chernihiv.
  • President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged partners to impose harsher sanctions, tariffs and trade limits on Russia and to accelerate advanced air-defense deliveries.
  • President Donald Trump said he is ready to move to a "second phase" of sanctions and plans talks with European leaders, while Moscow claimed it hit military targets and denied aiming at civilians.
