Ukrainian officials warn Belarus could again serve as a base for ground attacks on Kyiv
Moscow launched a “kamikaze” drone attack on Monday, hitting key infrastructure in and around Kyiv, as Russian president Vladimir Putin heads for Belarus, fuelling fears he will pressure his ex-Soviet ally to join a new offensive on Ukraine.
Putin heads for Belarus for his first visit in 3-1/2 years with the Kremlin describing it as a broad “working visit” and talks with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. Kyiv’s mayor said no one had died or been wounded in the attacks on Kyiv that rocked the capital’s Solomianskyi and Shevchenkivskyi districts, according to preliminary information.
“I heard an explosion. And in three or four minutes I heard another explosion,” said an old man who works as a guard at a nearby hospital. Zelensky on Sunday again called for Western nations to beef up Ukraine’s air defences after weeks of Russian air strikes targeting the energy network.The 10-month-old conflict in Ukraine is the biggest in Europe since World War Two, killing tens of thousands of people, driving millions from their homes and reducing cities to ruins.
Denis Pushilin, Russian-installed administrator of the portion of the Donetsk region controlled by Moscow, said that Ukrainian forces shelled a hospital in the Donetsk city, killing one person and injuring several others.Putin casts what he calls Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine as the moment when Moscow finally stood up to the Western bloc, led by the United States, seeking to capitalize on the 1991 fall of the Soviet Union by destroying Russia.
