Russia-Ukraine war: (SW) – At least one person has been killed and 33 others were injured after a fire at a warehouse in the Podolsk neighborhood of Kyiv after the missile attack, the Kyiv military administration says.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another person was reported killed and 27 others injured after a two residential blocks of houses caught fire in the Solomyan district, it said.<\/p>\n

The administration also confirmed the death of an 86-year-old woman without providing the information about the location or the circumstances.<\/p>\n

Ukraine is counting on its partners to send advanced weaponry and further sanction Russia, its foreign minister says.<\/p>\n

Dmytro Kuleba, writing on social media platform X, said Ukraine urgently needs more:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Air defence systems and ammunition<\/li>\n
  • Combat drones<\/li>\n
  • Long-range missiles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    His plea comes as Ukraine struggles to maintain war funding from its Western backers nearly two years after Russia\u2019s invasion.<\/p>\n

    In Washington, a proposed $60bn aid package is being held up by Republicans in Congress. In the EU, Hungary blocked passage of $55bn in assistance to Ukraine. EU leaders plan to convene next month in an effort to route $22bn in millitary funding to Kyiv through a separate facility.<\/p>\n

    The head of Kyiv\u2019s city government says the capital endured six hours of Russian air raids, which started with the launch of more than a dozen Iranian-made Shahed-136 attack drones.<\/p>\n

    That was followed by a massive missile barrage. Ukraine said Russia fired 99 missiles.<\/p>\n

    Air defence forces shot down all the drones and more than 70 missiles, Serhiy Popko said in a Telegram statement.<\/p>\n

    \u201cBut as a result of such a massive missile attack in the capital, unfortunately there is destruction of residential buildings, damage to infrastructure. There are victims. The consequences are especially dire in the Solomyansk district. Fires of multi-story residential buildings were recorded there. The fire trapped people on the floors.\u201d<\/p>\n

    Four people have been killed and 92 injured from Russia\u2019s latest strikes on Kyiv and Kharkiv, Ukraine\u2019s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced.<\/p>\n

    Writing on X, Zelenskyy thanked the country\u2019s air defence personnel for helping save more lives from being lost, saying he will continue working with Ukraine\u2019s global allies to \u201chold Russia accountable\u201d.<\/p>\n

    \u201cThe terrorist state must feel the repercussions of its actions,\u201d wrote Zelenskyy.<\/p>\n
