Russia continues to increase its attacks on Ukraine. On the night of Saturday-Sunday, Russia carried out the biggest air attack on Ukraine so far. In this attack, a total of 367 drones and missiles were fired on many Ukrainian cities including the capital Kiev. 12 people have been killed and more than 60 injured in these attacks; there has also been huge loss of property.
Russia has launched fresh attacks on Ukrainian cities with 69 missiles of various types and 298 drones. The 12 people killed include three children from the Zhitomir region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky took a dig at the US in a message posted on Telegram, saying that America’s silence and the calm of other countries in the world are emboldening Putin.
This kind of terrorist attack on Russia is enough to impose new sanctions on it. It should be noted that in terms of the weapons used, the latest attack was the biggest air attack in the 39-month-long war. Whereas the Russian Defense Ministry has said that 95 Ukrainian drones that entered the country’s airspace on the night of Saturday-Sunday were shot down.
Of these, 12 were headed towards the capital Moscow. Zelensky’s frustration over Russia’s attacks is natural. America, which was providing all kinds of help till January 20, is now withdrawing military help. The European Union and Britain, which are putting pressure on Russia for a 30-day ceasefire, have recently imposed new sanctions on Russia. But US President Trump has refused to join them in imposing new sanctions.
