UPDATE: A devastating Russian drone and missile attack on the western Ukrainian city of Ternopil has claimed at least 25 lives, including three children, in the early hours of this morning. The assault targeted two apartment blocks, leaving at least 73 injured as the situation escalates rapidly.
Ukraine’s air force has reported that Russia launched an alarming total of 476 drones and 48 missiles overnight, marking one of the most significant attacks in recent weeks. As President Volodymyr Zelenskyy seeks diplomatic support during his visit to Turkey, the urgency of the situation in Ukraine intensifies.
Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with Turkish President Erdogan to discuss strategies for countering Russia’s ongoing invasion. This critical dialogue comes as neighboring countries, including Romania and Poland, have scrambled their fighter jets in response to Russian drones breaching their airspace.
The implications of this attack are profound. The Ukrainian government has condemned the violence, asserting that it is part of Russia’s continued aggression against civilian targets. Meanwhile, Russian officials claim these assaults are retaliatory actions against Ukrainian strikes on their territory.
As the world watches, Zelenskyy’s diplomatic efforts in Turkey could shape the future of military and humanitarian support for Ukraine. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are expected as Russia continues its air offensive.
Stay tuned for updates as this story unfolds.
