Russia Launches 68 Missiles and 351 Drones at Kyiv, Resulting in 20 Fatalities Ahead of NATO Summit

Buzzline

In a significant escalation, Russia executed its most severe assault on Kyiv in several months, unleashing 68 missiles and 351 drones upon the Ukrainian capital during the early hours of Monday. This attack claimed the lives of at least 20 individuals and left 56 others injured, coinciding with the gathering of NATO leaders for their summit in Ankara, Turkey. Ukrainian President has denounced the strike as a calculated warning to NATO partners and is set to meet with President Trump at the summit to advocate for the provision of Patriot air defense systems. He cautioned that the ongoing stockpiling of US interceptors in allied depots only emboldens Russia to persist with its aggressive actions.
