Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Moscow of choosing “Easter escalation” over an Easter ceasefire after Russia launched another devastating large-scale drone and missile attack on Ukraine.
Six civilians were killed, and 40 were injured, when Russia unleashed hundreds of drones and missiles over the country. Major daytime attacks, which were formerly rare, are becoming more common.
It is happening as efforts to end the war, led by the US, have stalled since US President Donald Trump and his administration moved their focus to the Middle East conflict. Meanwhile, Zelensky concurred with a British intelligence assessment that the situation on the eastern frontline was the “most favourable” for Ukraine in 10 months, as Russian troop advances looked to have paused.
However, the air raids haven’t stopped. Rescuers in the Zhytomyr region, west of Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, had to search for survivors beneath the rubble of their homes because a whole line of houses had been demolished. In the Kyiv region, a drone was seen flying towards a building of flats before colliding with its side and igniting a fire.
