Russian attacks kill six people in Ukraine
Russia has attacked Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities with ballistic missiles, drones and guided bombs, killing at least six people and wounding dozens, again highlighting Ukraine’s shortage of US-made Patriot air defence systems.
Moscow has in recent weeks stepped up its use of ballistic missiles as it seeks to choke off Ukrainian strikes on oil facilities deep inside Russia that have caused critical fuel shortages affecting both the military and the civilian population.
US President Donald Trump has said he is prepared to grant Ukraine licences to produce Patriots, the most effective means of intercepting Russian ballistic missiles, potentially bolstering Kyiv’s defences. However, the details and timeline remain unclear. #ukraine #russia #europe #kyiv #drones
