On the night from Sunday to Monday, Russian military forces unleashed a wave of missile and drone strikes across Ukraine, marking one of the most intense assaults since President Trump unveiled a new military assistance plan. The attacks resulted in significant damage and casualties, including one confirmed death and several injuries in the capital, Kyiv.

Explosions rocked the city as residents sought shelter, leading to devastating scenes in various neighborhoods. An entrance to the Lukianivska subway station was struck, leaving civilians underground in panic as dust filled the station from the blast. In another incident, debris or a direct hit from a missile ignited a kindergarten, exacerbating fears as hostilities escalate.

The renewed assault comes amid stagnant cease-fire discussions that surfaced earlier in the spring. President Trump's recent military aid announcement, highlighting dissatisfaction with Russia’s aggression, appears to have coincided with these new strikes. The relentless drone activity over Kyiv, coupled with the sound of explosions throughout the night, underscores the ongoing peril faced by civilians in the region as the conflict continues to unfold.
