‘One of the most distant’ in Russia killing at least six people in Ukraine | News of the Russian-Ukrainian war

Moscow reportedly intercepted and destroyed 286 Ukrainian drones overnight.

At least six people have been killed and many others injured in “one of the longest, most serious attacks by Russia in Ukraine”, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, although the presidents of Russia and the United States have said that the war is almost over.

Zelenskyy said the attack began on Wednesday morning and lasted for hours, hitting Kyiv, the western city of Lviv near the Polish border and the Black Sea port of Odesa, among other areas.

“Our military is protecting Ukraine, but Russia’s clear goal is to increase air defense,” Zelenskyy said on the Telegraph, warning that naval strikes and missile strikes could follow the drone attack.

In southern Kherson, Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said a woman was killed when a Russian plane crashed into a bus in the town of Bilozerka.

Another drone attack in the western region of Rivne killed three people and wounded four, according to Governor Oleksandr Koval.

In the Kharkiv region of northeastern Ukraine, officials said a 60-year-old man was killed when Russian troops attacked residents near the city of Zolochiv with drones. Police said two houses and several buildings were damaged.

In the south, Governor Ivan Fedorov said a 76-year-old man was killed in an attack on an agricultural business in the Zaporizhia region.

“The Russians attacked part of one of the agricultural enterprises with a guided bomb,” Fedorov wrote on the Telegraph. “The waves and debris destroyed the buildings.”

Fighting continues even as peace talks begin

The latest attacks came as US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, hinted that the four-year war could end.

Trump said on Tuesday that he believed Moscow and Kyiv would “find an agreement very soon” to end the war.

“The end of the war in Ukraine I think is very close,” Trump told reporters before leaving the White House for a meeting in Beijing. Believe it or not, it’s coming.

Putin said last week that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine may be “over”.

However, fighting continued on both sides of the border.

In Russia’s Bryansk region, Governor Alexander Bogomaz said Ukrainian drones injured two people in the village of Antonovka. Eight houses and a civilian car were damaged, he said.

In the Russian-controlled areas of Ukraine’s Kherson region, Moscow Governor Volodymyr Saldo said two women were killed in separate drone attacks in the cities of Oleshky and Hola Prystan, and a man was injured in the Velyka Lepetykha region.

In Russia’s Belgorod region, Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said four people were injured in recent drone attacks, including three in the village of Bessonovka.

Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces intercepted and destroyed 286 Ukrainian planes overnight in several areas, including Belgorod, Bryansk, Kursk and Rostov and over the Black Sea and Sea of ​​Azov.
