On Kyiv Day, Russia unleashed a devastating barrage of 367 projectiles, killing at least 12 people and sending thousands into shelters. Ukrainian officials labeled the attack a war crime, citing its timing as an effort to maximize civilian terror.
The assault forced families to spend the holiday underground, creating widespread trauma and fear. The psychological impact will be felt for years to come.
President Trump condemned Putin’s actions, warning of dire consequences for Russia. President Zelenskyy called for tougher sanctions and criticized America’s lack of a strong response.
