The early-morning wave of missile strikes on what’s known as the International Day of Peace was the largest in more than a month and came during Zelenskyy’s multiday trip to the U.S. where he was to meet Thursday with President Joe Biden and congressional leaders in Washington with an additional $24 billion aid package hanging in the balance.
A dispute about whether Ukrainian grain should be allowed to enter the domestic markets of Poland and other European Union countries has pushed the tight relationship between Kyiv and Warsaw to its lowest point since Russia invaded Ukraine last year. Five people were killed and 10 wounded in multiple strikes in the southern Kherson region, regional governor Oleksandr Prokudin said.Seven people were injured in Kyiv, including a 9-year-old girl, Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said, as explosions or debris from intercepted missiles rained down and shattered windows in buildings and cars and left fires burning around crumpled metal wreckage.
Illia Melnyk said he had taken shelter behind two walls as he heard an explosion and saw a flash and then ran outside. Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it targeted Ukrainian arms factories and radio-technical intelligence centers with precision-guided missiles and drones. It said, without providing details, that “the strike achieved the objectives and all targets were hit.” It was not possible to confirm that claim.
