US president Donald Trump has said he is ready to push ahead with a new round of sanctions after Russia<\/a> targeted the main government building in Kyiv <\/a>for the first time since the Ukraine<\/a> war began in 2022.
However, Mr Trump did not specify what he envisions as the \u201csecond stage\u201d of sanctions against Russia<\/a>, the New York Post<\/em> reported. <\/a>
The aerial attack on Kyiv <\/a>was part of a record assault overnight that involved a total of at least 805 drones and 13 missiles fired at cities across Ukraine<\/a>, killing two people including a three-month-old baby.
Ukraine<\/a>‘s prime minister Yulia Svyrydenko called on the world to “respond to this destruction not only with words, but with actions”.
Vladimir Putin has so far largely refrained from targeting government buildings in Kyiv<\/a>\u2019s historic centre.
It is the second time Putin has launched a mass Russian drone and missile attack targeting the capital in a span of two weeks, despite claiming to want a peaceful end to the war.
Sir Keir Starmer<\/a> said Vladimir Putin<\/a> has shown he is \u201cnot serious about peace\u201d as he joined allies in condemning Russian strikes that marked the largest aerial attack on Ukraine<\/a> since the war began.
The Prime Minister<\/a> said the \u201cbrutal\u201d and \u201ccowardly\u201d assault on Kyiv<\/a>, which killed at least two people, proved that the Russian president felt he could \u201cact with impunity\u201d.
French president Emmanuel Macron, with whom Sir Keir leads the so-called \u201ccoalition of the willing\u201d, said Moscow was \u201clocking itself ever deeper into the logic of war and terror\u201d.

Russia<\/a> hit Ukraine’s capital with drone and missiles Sunday in the largest aerial attack on the country since the war began, killing at least two people and leaving smoke rising from the roof of a key government building.
Russia attacked Ukraine with 805 drones and decoys, officials said.
Yuriy Ihnat, a spokesperson for Ukraine\u2019s Air Force<\/a>, confirmed to The Associated Press that Sunday\u2019s attack was the largest Russian drone strike since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine began. Russia also launched 13 missiles of various types.

For residents of Ukraine<\/a>\u2019s eastern Donetsk<\/a> region, evacuation often begins with a defining blast \u2013 the explosion that makes staying impossible. For 69-year-old Tetiana Zaichikova, this moment arrived when a strike reduced her home to rubble.
The region has been the epicentre of heavy fighting for years, with evacuations a grim constant since Russia<\/a>\u2019s full-scale invasion began over three years ago.
Towns across the area, larger than Slovenia<\/a>, are steadily emptying as Russian forces now control around 70 per cent of the territory.

A Kremlin<\/a> official and relative of Vladimir Putin has boasted that Russia<\/a> has become a world leader in making prosthetic<\/a> limbs.
Deputy defence minister Anna Tsivilyova, said to be the daughter of Putin<\/a>\u2019s cousin, said Russia had achieved \u201chuge breakthroughs\u201d in prosthetic innovation due to the Ukraine war.
She told the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok: \u201cIt is precisely the participants in the special military operation who have allowed us to reach such a priority flagship level,\u201d speaking of Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine<\/a>.

Vladimir Putin has <\/a>lost no time in warning that he\u2019d attack foreign troops<\/a> stationed in Ukraine<\/a> as part of a peace deal he has no intention of signing while Donald Trump<\/a> continues to undermine Europe<\/a>\u2019s defences.
Speaking in Vladivostok, Putin \u2013 who claims that Ukraine\u2019s intention to join Nato is the reason his forces invaded \u2013 said: \u201cIf some troops appear there, especially now, during military operations, we proceed from the fact that these will be legitimate targets for destruction.\u201d
His words came less than 24 hours after French president Emmanuel Macron<\/a> announced that there are now 26 countries in the \u201ccoalition of the willing\u201d, which includes the UK, that are prepared to deploy forces to Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump has said he is ready to push ahead with a new round of sanctions after Russia targeted the main government building in Kyiv for the first time since the Ukraine war began in 2022.
Trump was asked by reporters whether he is ready to move to the \u201csecond stage\u201d of sanctions against Russia, and he replied yes.
However, Trump did not specify what he envisions as the \u201csecond stage\u201d of sanctions against Russia, New York Post reported.
U.S. President Donald Trump<\/a> told European leaders that countries in the continent must stop buying Russian oil, claiming that it is helping Moscow fund its war against Ukraine<\/a>, a White House official said.
Trump joined a call of the \u201cCoalition of the Willing\u201d countries, led by French President Emmanuel Macron<\/a>, who were meeting in Paris on security guarantees for Kyiv in the event of a peace deal with Russia<\/a>.
He struck a combative tone amid slow diplomatic progress to end the fighting and emphasized that Europe must stop purchasing Russian oil that is funding the war – as Russia received 1.1 billion euros in fuel sales from the EU in one year,\u201d the official said.

American and Ukrainian officials have reportedly been mulling over a plan for American air and satellite surveillance assets to monitor a future Korea-like demilitarized area separating Ukrainian-controlled and Russian-controlled territory within Ukraine\u2019s borders as part of a possible peace plan<\/a>.
Citing multiple persons familiar with the plan, NBC News reported on Friday that the so-called \u201cbuffer zone\u201d would be an as-yet undetermined \u201clarge demilitarized area\u201d within Ukraine.
The United States would reportedly \u201ctake the lead in watching the buffer zone\u201d because American drone and satellite capabilities give the U.S. a leg up in surveillance matters but the monitoring effort would also involve \u201cother countries\u201d with which the U.S. would coordinate.

Direct drone hits struck a nine-storey residential building in Kyiv’s Sviatoshynskyi district and a four-storey residential building in Darnytskyi district.
“I just have no more words left to express what I feel towards Russia,” said Olha, a 77-year-old Kyiv resident whose apartment was damaged. She did not give her last name.
“Although I’m an ethnic Russian myself, from outside Moscow. And I’ve never thought my people would be capable of this.”
President Volodymyr Zelensky has condemned the wave of Russian strikes across the country that has killed four people and left more than 44 injured.
\u201cTragically, across Ukraine four people have been killed and more than 44 injured. Our first responders and emergency services are still dealing with the aftermath of the attack around the country,\u201d he said in a post on X.
