Zelenskyy: 41 Dead and 180 Injured in Russian Attack in Ukrainian ... Ukrainian Poltava

In one of the most devastating Russian attacks since the beginning of the war, at least 41 people were killed and over 180 others injured in the central Ukrainian city of Poltava, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The attack targeted the military training center in the city, and two rockets hit an educational institution and a nearby hospital. The rescue operation is still ongoing, with several people being pulled out from the rubble. There has been criticism of the Ukrainian military leadership, accusing them of allowing such gatherings despite the risk of Russian attacks. Zelenskyy has ordered a comprehensive investigation into the attack and called for accountability from Russia. He has also urged Western allies to quickly provide Ukraine with new air defense systems and allow the use of long-range weapons to attack Russian territory. This attack in Poltava comes just days after a Ukrainian fighter jet crashed, leading to the dismissal of the air force chief. The incident has been a major setback for Ukraine, which had been pushing for the delivery of modern fighter jets from the West.

Kiev Recovers After Russian Bombings

Russian attacks in Kiev caused extensive damage to civilian facilities, including a school, a metro station, shops, and a bakery. In Dnipro, explosions left one person dead and six injured, while Ukrainian refugees are arriving in Dnipro from Russian-advancing areas. Poltava was also targeted by a Russian missile strike, resulting in the deaths of at least 41 people and injuring over 180. The attacks on Ukraine's power grid have been frequent, causing fires and black smoke. President Zelenskyy demands accountability for the attacks and calls for air defenses from the West. Satellites show destruction in a large Russian oil depot, and Ukrainian drones have reduced oil production. Russian forces continue their offensive, threatening to encircle hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers in Donezk. The use of drones in the conflict is escalating, with Ukraine using them to target Russian positions, and Russia previously using them against Ukrainian ammunition depots. A video shows a Ukrainian drone using thermite bombs and grenades to destroy abandoned Russian vehicles. The use of incendiary attacks within civilian-populated areas is prohibited under international law.
