Russia intensifies attacks on Kyiv amid slow advance in eastern Ukraine

Russia launched over 1,400 drones and 56 missiles into Ukraine in a significant assault targeting Kyiv, coinciding with heightened tensions surrounding Russia’s Victory Day celebrations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had proposed a ceasefire, but Moscow issued threats of retaliation if Ukraine did not comply with its terms. Despite Ukraine claiming to have shot down 92% of the launched drones, the conflict continues as Russia’s military performance shows signs of slowing down amidst increased Ukrainian strikes on Russian logistics.
