More Russian missiles, more rubble, more civilian deaths in the horror of war.
A condominium in the city of Dnipro has been gutted: at least 20 dead, including a 15-year-old girl, and dozens injured, including several children, the youngest just three years old .
The Ukrainian president Voldymyr Zelensky promises that there will be no mercy against the "terror" of Moscow: "The world must stop the evil" , he invoked. While Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba appealed to the G7 and the EU for new sanctions that could "kill the Russian missile and drone industry".
A large-scale missile attack by the Russians: critical infrastructure and 28 residential buildings were hit in Kiev , without causing any victims. The alarm sounded in all regions, followed by a second wave of explosions in Kiev and in all oblasts of the country, including in the west. The raids hit already battered strategic infrastructure and power grids, including in Lviv and Kharkiv, bringing new emergency blackouts to most regions .
At the front, the Soledar question remains open, with Kiev's army once again claiming to control the city, denying Moscow's claims of having conquered it .
And Zelensky is once again asking the West for arms. Because Moscow's "terror" can only be stopped "on the battlefield in Ukraine," said the Ukrainian leader. Which cashed in on British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's commitment to supply Kiev with the much desired Challenger 2 tanks , after Poland's promise to supply Leopard tanks.
In Kiev, meanwhile, there is anticipation for the visit of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. "We have heard many pro-Ukraine statements from you," said Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president's office. "I think Italy could be one of the countries that will lead Ukraine to victory" .
