Russia Launches Devastating Bombardment of Ukraine Amid US-Kyiv Talks
Russia has launched a major aerial bombardment against Ukrainian infrastructure targets, with 653 drones and 51 missiles fired overnight. The attack, which began at approximately 3:00 AM local time, has resulted in significant destruction, including the destruction of the main station building and damage to rolling stock at a railway depot in the town of Fastiv outside Kyiv.
The attack has caused widespread disruption, with one strike hitting a critical railway hub. President Volodymyr Zelensky has described the attack as "meaningless from a military point of view," suggesting that Russia was aware of the potential consequences.
The bombardment comes as US and Ukrainian negotiators are set to enter a third day of talks in Florida, aimed at securing a long-term peace agreement. However, Moscow has intensified attacks on Ukraine's energy sector and infrastructure in recent weeks, with Saturday's attack hitting energy facilities in eight regions and causing blackouts.
The UN's nuclear watchdog has also expressed concern over the safety of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which has been temporarily shut down due to Russian attacks.
This is a developing story, with further updates expected as more information becomes available. The situation remains fluid, and we will provide updates as necessary.
