The Kremlin declared that the conflict in Ukraine has shifted to a 'new model,' citing what it alleges are Kyiv's 'inhumane terrorist acts' targeting civilians and children. Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesperson, announced that Russia intends to attack Ukrainian military targets in the capital, Kyiv, and other cities, leading to a halt in the peace process.

Despite the escalation, Peskov maintained that Moscow keeps communication channels open with Washington, which has been mediating efforts for Russia-Ukraine negotiations. "We remain ready for peace talks," Peskov stated, emphasizing that the conflict could end immediately if Kyiv agreed to withdraw its forces from four Ukrainian territories that Russia claimed to control in 2022.

cuộc xung đột “có thể kết thúc ngay lập tức nếu Kiev đồng ý rút lực lượng khỏi bốn vùng lãnh thổ của Ukraine mà Nga tuyên bố kiểm soát vào năm 2022”.

Earlier, Russia conducted a large-scale aerial assault on Kyiv and other Ukrainian regions using ballistic missiles and drones. At least 18 people were reported killed and over 100 injured by Tuesday evening. This marks the third intense Russian air strike on Ukraine in less than a month.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russia launched a total of 73 missiles and over 600 drones. "This is a large-scale attack and a completely clear statement from Russia: If Ukraine is not protected from ballistic missile attacks and other types of missiles, these attacks will continue," Zelensky stated. The French Foreign Ministry condemned the Russian airstrikes, accusing the Kremlin of seeking to prolong the war and of disregarding peace efforts and international humanitarian law.

Những vụ ném bom quy mô lớn của Nga nhắm vào thường dân và cơ sở hạ tầng này một lần nữa cho thấy sự coi thường của Matxcơva đối các nỗ lực hòa bình. Những cuộc tấn công đó một lần nữa vi phạm luật nhân đạo quốc tế
