RUSSIA UNLEASHES BIGGEST BARRAGE OF STRIKES ON UKRAINE SINCE INVASION

Cities throughout Ukraine, including Kyiv, were bombarded after Putin slammed Ukraine over a Crimea bridge blastKYIV, Ukraine—Waves of Russian missiles slammed into Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities on Monday in one of the broadest and most intense barrages of the war, in response to a weekend attack Moscow blamed on Ukraine that seriously damaged a bridge connecting Russia to occupied Crimea.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia had carried out dozens of strikes using missiles as well as Iranian-made drones to target the country’s electrical grid and other civilian infrastructure. “They want panic and chaos,” he said in a video address filmed near his office. “They want to destroy our energy system.”
