Kyiv residents are battling freezing temperatures after a massive Russian missile and drone attack left a third of the city without heat and electricity. The overnight assault, described by Ukrainian officials as one of the most intense this year, killed one person and injured over 20 others. 💔
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the strikes, stating Russia used 500 drones and 40 missiles in the barrage. 'They don’t want peace – only suffering,' he declared, referencing Kinzhal missiles and Iranian-made Shahed drones. 🚀🔥
With temperatures near 0°C (32°F), over 2,600 apartment buildings and 138 schools remain unheated. Kyiv’s administration called it a 'humanitarian emergency,' while Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha accused Moscow of attacking 'peace efforts.' ❄️🏚️
The assault comes ahead of Zelenskyy’s critical meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump this weekend to discuss a proposed ceasefire plan. Russia has dismissed the talks as a 'betrayal' of its interests. 🌍⚡
