‘A deliberate crime’ Photos from the aftermath of Russia’s largest air attack on Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion
On Saturday night, the Russian military carried out its largest air attack on Ukraine since the start of the full-scale invasion. According to the Ukrainian military, Russia used more than 800 drones and fired 13 missiles of various types. One of its main targets was Kyiv. Local authorities reported damage to apartment buildings and, for the first time, Ukraine’s main government building. Three people were confirmed dead in the city, including a mother and her infant son. More than 20 others were injured. Writing on Telegram, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky described the air assault as “a deliberate crime and a prolongation of the war,” noting that Moscow has long had the opportunity to pursue diplomacy rather than military attacks.
