Ukrainian officials said that at least six people were killed and more than 50 others were wounded in a barrage of Russian drone aircraft, which struck many Kiev and a residential bloc fell.

One of the dead was a six -year -old boy, and Timor Tacattinko, head of Kiev military administration, said that the number of deaths could rise, with damage to more than twenty sites.

The high bacon of Russian drones can be heard for hours over the capital, which was boycotted by loud thundering in a missile strike.

Russian attacks continued despite US President Donald Trump’s threat to impose tougher sanctions on Moscow if Vladimir Putin did not agree to a ceasefire by August 8.

Red orange glow referred to the destruction on the ground.

“One of the strikes has struck a tall residential building, a full entrance was destroyed. The rescuers are wiping the rubble,” said Ukraine Minister of Interior Igor Clemenco.

Three of deaths were at the site of the apartment block.

“The world has once again witnessed Russia’s response to our desire for America and Europe to peace. More illustration,” said President Folodimir Zelinski. “This is why peace is without strength impossible.”

One of Kiev, school and kindergarten institutions was also damaged during the attack.

Foreign Minister Andrei Sibha said it was “a terrible morning” in Kiev, and that “there are still people under the rubble.”

Sibha added that Trump was “very generous and patient” with Putin, but now it is time to put “maximum pressure on Moscow” through sanctions.

On Monday, during a visit to the United Kingdom, Trump Cut this deadline To “Ten or 12 days”, expressing his rejection of Putin’s actions in Ukraine, more than three years ago since Moscow has launched its large scale for the country.

Trump did not say whether he felt that the Russian president was “lying” to him, but he said that there was a contrast between Putin’s speech during his individual talks and missiles “hitting” the Ukrainian cities.

“We were stopping shooting and perhaps peace … and suddenly you have missiles flying to Kiev and other places,” Trump said.
