Russia Rejects US Call to Halt Promised Strikes on Kyiv at UN
Share:
Russia rejected a United States appeal at the United Nations to abandon its threatened strikes against Kyiv following weekend bombardments that killed at least two civilians and wounded approximately 100 others. Moscow justified Sunday's attacks as retaliation for a Ukrainian strike on a school dormitory in the city of Starobilsk. The exchange represents an escalation in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with Russia openly announcing its intention to conduct further strikes on the Ukrainian capital despite international diplomatic pressure to cease such operations.
