HeadlineJan 02, 2024

Russian President Vladimir Putin is vowing to intensify attacks inside Ukraine after a Ukrainian attack on the Russian city of Belgorod killed at least 25 people, including five children, on Saturday. More than 100 people were injured in what was one of the deadliest attacks inside Russia since Moscow invaded Ukraine 22 months ago. The attack on Belgorod came a day after a massive Russian strike on Ukraine’s largest cities killed at least 41 civilians. Earlier today Russia fired hypersonic ballistic missiles at Ukraine’s two largest cities, Kyiv and Kharkiv. Four people were reportedly killed in Kyiv, and another 92 were injured. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of firing 170 armed drones and dozens of missiles at Ukraine since Sunday.
