Russia-Ukraine War: According to a Ukrainian presidential adviser, air raid sirens were activated throughout Ukraine when Russia launched more than 100 missiles on Thursday morning. Blasts were also audible in various towns, including the capital Kyiv.
“A massive air raid. More than 100 missiles in several waves,” Oleksiy Arestovych, a presidential office adviser, posted on Facebook while the governor of Ukraine’s Mykolaiv region also claimed to have seen Russian missiles in the sky.
According to accounts from the local media and a Reuters correspondent, explosions were heard in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, and Odesa.

The Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk regions received power outages warnings in an effort to lessen possible harm to the energy infrastructure. The blitz came soon after the Kremlin rejected a peace plan for Ukraine and demanded that Kyiv accept Moscow’s annexation of four areas.
Although Ukraine claims that daily shelling from Moscow is destroying cities, villages, and the nation’s infrastructure, from power to medical, despite Moscow’s repeated denials that it is targeting civilians.
The maternity wing of a hospital in the city of Kherson was struck by Russian shelling on Wednesday, but no one was harmed, according to Kyrylo Tymoshenko, the deputy chief of staff of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Tymoshenko wrote on Telegram that staff members and patients had been relocated to a refuge.
Olha Prysidko, a new mother, said, “It was frightening … the explosions began abruptly, the window handle started to tear off … oh, my hands are still shaking. When we came to the basement, the shelling wasn’t over. Not for a minute.”
Russian forces, who had fled to the east bank of the river when the city was retaken in a significant victory for Ukraine last month, have continued to pound the recently liberated southern city of Kherson in Ukraine.
Zelensky’s message to the nation
In a video speech, Zelensky urged Ukrainians to give more hugs to their loved ones, express their gratitude to friends, stand with their fellow workers, thank their parents, and celebrate life with their kids.
“We have not lost our humanity, although we have endured terrible months,” he remarked “And we will not lose it, although there is a difficult year ahead.”
On February 24, Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia’s efforts have been criticised by Kiev and its Western allies as an imperialist-style land grab. The demilitarisation of Russia’s neighbour is described as a “special military operation” by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
