Breaking News: Russian Attacks Hit Kyiv Amid Calls for Peace

On Friday, June 6, 2025, Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, faced a severe attack involving missiles and drones launched by Russia. This assault resulted in the deaths of at least four people and injured 20 others. The attack caused fires and damage across multiple districts, including a significant blaze on the 11th floor of a residential building in Solomyanskyi. Additionally, metro tracks between two stations were damaged, though no injuries were reported there.

In the northern Chernihiv region, a Shahed drone exploded near an apartment building, shattering windows and doors. Explosions from ballistic missiles were also recorded on the outskirts of the city.

These attacks occurred shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump suggested it might be better to let Ukraine and Russia “fight for a while” before seeking peace. German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, during a meeting with Trump, emphasized that Russian President Vladimir Putin is solely responsible for the war and urged Trump to use his influence to push for peace.

Ukrainian officials condemned the attacks and called for increased international sanctions on Russia, while reiterating the need for stronger air defense systems.

As the situation unfolds, global leaders continue to navigate the complexities of the conflict, balancing diplomatic efforts with the urgent need to address humanitarian concerns and regional stability.
