"Russia has launched its largest ever air attack on Ukraine, hitting a key
government building in Kyiv for the first time and killing at least three
people, including a mother and her baby, and drawing widespread condemnation,
including a fresh threat of further US sanctions.
The bombardment of the capital with a large number of drones and missiles
injured at least 18 people and set scores of buildings on fire. Explosions were
also reported in the cities of Odesa, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and Kryvyi
Rih. Authorities triggered a countrywide air-raid warning at 6.06am local time
and later accused Russia of deliberately striking civilian targets.
The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, called the attack “a deliberate
crime and prolongation of the war” when “real diplomacy could have already
begun long ago”. He later said he was counting on a “strong response” from the
US.
The US president, Donald Trump, who met the Russian president, Vladimir Putin,
for a summit in Alaska last month, said without elaboration in response to
questioning on Sunday that he was ready to move to a second stage of sanctions
against Russia over the conflict. Trump has threatened to penalise countries
that buy Russia’s oil, but has so far only hit India with so-called secondary
sanctions and stepped back from previous warnings of tougher financial action
against Moscow."
