Ukraine demands emergency Security Council meeting over Russia strikes

Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha announced on Sunday that Ukraine is requesting an emergency meeting of the UN Security Council and a gathering of the OSCE. This call follows massive Russian air strikes that primarily targeted the Kyiv region overnight, including the use of a medium-range Oreshnik ballistic missile. Sybiha stated that Russia is attempting to compensate for battlefield setbacks with these attacks. In Kyiv, at least two people were killed and 81 injured, while President Zelensky reported approximately 100 injured and at least four killed nationwide. Government buildings, including the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Cabinet building, were also damaged.

Russia launched a massive attack on Kyiv and its surrounding region, utilizing its hypersonic Oreshnik ballistic missile for the third time in Ukraine. The assault, described by Ukraine's president as "deranged," resulted in at least four deaths and dozens of injuries. The Oreshnik missile struck the city of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, while other strikes hit a water supply facility, a market, residential buildings, and schools across the area, including the capital. Russia's defense ministry confirmed the use of the Oreshnik and other missiles, stating the attacks were retaliation for Ukrainian strikes on Russian territory. Kyiv was reportedly the primary target of the barrage, which also damaged cultural institutions and government headquarters.

Russia launched a large wave of missile and drone strikes on Kyiv, resulting in one death and 21 injuries, including a 15-year-old boy.

Ukraine's General Staff stated they attacked a Russian military unit near Starobilsk. Kyiv's mayor reported that 13 people were hospitalized, with three in serious condition.
