Ukraine Hit With Deadly Attack as Allies Meet on Recovery

Ukraine’s allies gathering in Rome to discuss the nation’s postwar revival will be forced to grapple with the reality that such a prospect is more remote than ever as Russia unleashed its latest deadly air strike on Kyiv.

Two people were killed and 16 wounded as around 400 drones, as well as 18 missiles including ballistic ones, targeted the Ukrainian capital and other regions, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on X Thursday. He described the air raid, which lasted for almost 10 hours, as “a clear escalation of terror by Russia.”
