Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has renewed calls for a mutual halt to aerial attacks after Russia launched a 'massive' drone and missile assault on energy facilities Friday. The strikes, affecting regions from Kharkiv to Ternopil, left firefighters battling blazes amid debris-lined streets—a scene described by Ukraine's emergency services as 'chaotic but courageous.' 🔥
Zelenskyy emphasized that ending bombardments on critical infrastructure should be the first step toward peace. 'Ukraine is ready for peace from day one, but we need Russia to stop the war,' he posted on social media. The aerial offensive included 58 missiles and nearly 200 drones, according to Ukrainian defense reports. 🚀
The Kremlin rejected earlier ceasefire proposals, doubling down on its military campaign. Meanwhile, Zelenskyy’s plea found support from Türkiye’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who recently hosted the Ukrainian leader. 🌐 Will global pressure tip the scales? For now, the war’s human and energy toll keeps climbing.
