Zelenskyy says Ukraine received no warning before Russian missile strike on Kyiv
Zelenskyy said Ukraine got no early warning from its partners before a Russian ballistic missile strike on Kyiv.
He said five missiles hit civilian infrastructure in the capital, and warned that advance intelligence can help save lives.
The strike came amid intensified Russian aerial attacks on Ukrainian cities, using missiles and drones.
Zelenskyy said Russia had launched more than 100 weapons at Ukraine since Monday evening.
In Kharkiv, a residential building was destroyed, killing four people and injuring 41.
The attacks matter because Russia has targeted civilian and energy infrastructure, threatening people’s access to power, heat and running water.
Zelenskyy also said Ukraine had not attacked Russian energy sites in the two days after U.S. President Donald Trump announced an energy ceasefire, but Russia has not confirmed that such a deal exists.
