Russia Ramps Up Missile Attacks on Kyiv, US Mulls New Aid

Wave of Strikes Hits Ukrainian Capital

Russia launched a new barrage of missile strikes on Kyiv early Monday morning, targeting critical infrastructure and residential zones. Ukrainian defense officials reported over 15 missiles intercepted, while several buildings were hit, resulting in at least 42 civilian casualties.

Explosions echoed across the city, and emergency crews were seen battling fires and rescuing survivors from collapsed structures.

US Reviews Military and Humanitarian Aid Package

In response to the renewed assault, the United States government has begun internal discussions regarding a new round of military and humanitarian assistance to Ukraine. Sources suggest the proposed package could include additional air defense systems, long-range artillery, and medical supplies.

White House officials emphasized that Ukraine “must not be left defenseless in the face of aggression.”

International Outcry and UN Emergency Session

The latest strikes have prompted condemnation from the European Union and NATO allies, many of whom called for an emergency session of the United Nations Security Council. Human rights organizations described the attacks as “targeted terror,” citing the increasing number of civilian deaths and damage to hospitals and schools.

Ukrainian Resilience Amid Escalation

Despite the intensity of the assault, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reassured the public in a video address, praising the courage of the nation’s defenders and calling for global unity against “unchecked aggression.”

Citizens of Kyiv, though shaken, continue to support ongoing mobilization efforts and international appeals for aid.
