NATO chiefs have scrambled warplanes above Europe following a “murderous” attack by Vladimir Putin.
At least ten people were killed and more than 70 wounded in the attacks on capital city Kyiv. At least 43 people have been hosptalised – including six children – and some young Ukrainians are now missing underneath the rubble of razed apartment buildings.
Vladimir Putin’s armed forces also hit Kharkiv, Poltava region, Pavlohrad, Dnipro, Zaporizhzhia and Zhytomyr.
The Polish operational command announced it had scrambled its own and NATO aircraft due to the intensity of the Putin bombardment in Ukraine.
“Due to the activity of long-range aviation of the Russian Federation, which is carrying out strikes on targets located, among others, in western Ukraine, the operation of Polish and allied aircraft has commenced in Polish airspace,” said a statement.
The strikes with dozens of civilian victims came even as Donald Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff was reportedly due in Moscow by tomorrow for peace talks.
Trump had claimed Putin was ready for peace – and again tore into Zelensky for blocking a deal.
Yet the carnage in Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities showed a different reality as Putin deployed Tu-95MS nuclear capable strategic bombers and lethal drones.
