Kyiv Under Fire: Russia's Largest Aerial Attack Yet

Kyiv Under Siege: Another Night of Russian Attacks On the night of May 26, 2025, Russia launched its largest aerial bombardment on Ukraine since the war began. The attack targeted at least 30 Ukrainian cities, including the capital, Kyiv, resulting in significant damage and at least 12 deaths. Footage shows widespread destruction, with buildings reduced to rubble and civilians seeking shelter in metro stations. One Kyiv resident, speaking amidst the devastation, stated, "How long can they bomb children? We go to bed and don't know what awaits us in the morning." Her sentiments reflect the growing despair among Ukrainians. This large-scale attack prompted a strong reaction from US President Donald Trump, who stated, "I don't know what the hell happened to Putin...but he's sending rockets into cities and killing people, and I don't like it at all." Trump is reportedly considering new sanctions against Russia. The indiscriminate nature of the attacks has also been condemned by Keith Kellogg, the US special envoy to Ukraine, who described the attacks as a clear violation of the Geneva Protocols. Despite some prisoner exchanges over the weekend, little progress has been made toward a ceasefire.
