A New Wave of Terror: Russia’s Bombing Rampage on Ukraine
In a chilling display of aggression, Russia punishes Ukraine for a second consecutive night, unleashing the *largest air attack* yet recorded in this brutal conflict. Authorities reveal that the Russian Army unleashed a staggering 367 missiles and drones, targeting the heart of Ukraine’s capital and eleven other regions. Residents braced for a night of terror, with the governor urging all to seek shelter before the skies erupted in chaos.
Once again, Kyiv’s neighborhoods faced an ominous vigil, taking refuge in Metro stations that serve as their best hope against the relentless onslaught. The sounds of explosions pierced the night, as the sky lit up with fierce impacts. Emergency services rushed to the scene, battling fires and rescuing those affected by the raining debris. A heartbreaking scene unfolded as citizens watched their dreams and homes crumble before their eyes.
Ukrainian Interior Minister, Igor Klymenko, condemned the terror spread by the invading forces, highlighting the attack’s profound impact across cities like Zhytomyr, Mykolaiv, and Járkov. Tragically, the assault claimed the lives of up to 12 individuals, including three children from the same family. This onslaught occurred during a significant time for Kyiv, coinciding with a celebration that now bears the scars of destruction.
Today, rescuers have been working in more than 30 Ukrainian cities and villages following Russia’s massive strike. Wherever necessary, work continues – our emergency services are on the ground, providing assistance and supporting people. Thank you.

Despite the increasing tide of violence, the Ukrainian government clings to a hope for a 30-day ceasefire, though the likelihood dims as Russian aggression escalates. After months of U.S.-led talks, the enemy continues to refuse any hint of temporary peace, even following potential diplomatic discussions in Istanbul. Tensions boil as the dialogue falters once again.
President Zelensky condemned this brutal display of force, pointing fingers at Washington for its perceived silence, declaring that “the silence of the United States and other countries only encourages Putin.” Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump echoes the sentiment that negotiations between Kyiv and Moscow must resume. The stakes couldn’t be higher, as Zelensky warns, “the world can take a weekend rest, but the war continues.”
A Wave of Destruction
The Kremlin has unleashed a staggering number of missiles, firing off up to 69 in a single attack. Ukrainian air defenses attempted to hold the line, successfully intercepting 45 missiles and 266 unmanned aerial vehicles. According to Yuriy Ignat, spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force, this marks the *largest bombing campaign* since the war escalated in February 2022.
As Ukraine endures almost daily drone attacks, this recent barrage marks a horrific turning point. Just days earlier, Russian forces unleashed a wave of 14 missiles and 250 drones, targeting vulnerable areas across the nation. The horrifying escalation in aggression mirrors the broader trends in this ongoing struggle for survival.
As we enter the third year of this large-scale war, we witness an alarming uptick in violence. Innocent lives have been devastated—on Palm Sunday alone, a missile strike in Sumy claimed 34 lives, while nine children were among the casualties in a brutal assault on Krivoy Rog, Zelensky’s hometown. The world must take heed: this is not just a distant conflict; it’s a harbinger of what unrestrained aggression can bring.
