JAKARTA - Russia is increasingly attacking Ukraine amid pressure from US President Donald Trump. It was reported that 6 people were killed and 82 injured in Thursday's attack in Kyiv.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russia launched more than 300 unmanned aircraft and eight missiles and hit residential buildings in the capital.
"Today the world is witnessing once again Russia's response to our desire to make peace with America and Europe. Therefore, peace without power is impossible," Zelenskyy said.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said nine children were injured, the highest number of injured victims in one night in the city since Russia began a massive invasion nearly three and a half years ago.
The explosion rocked Kyiv for hours and flames lit up the night sky. Schools and hospitals were among the affected buildings in 27 locations in the city, officials said.
The Air Force reported five direct missile attacks and 21 drone strikes in 12 locations.
Russia denies targeting civilians, raising airstrikes in Ukrainian cities that have been far from the forefront of war in recent months.
US President Donald Trump previously said the United States would start charging and other measures against Russia within 10-12 days if Moscow showed no progress in ending the war.
"This is Putin's response to Trump's deadline," said Prime Minister Yulia Svyrydenko.
"The world must respond with the courts and the maximum pressure," he continued.
