Russia has again escalated his war against Ukraine on Sunday morning with the largest drone and rocket attack on the neighboring country since the large-scale Russian invasion. Moreover, the Russians carried out an attack for the first time on an important government building in the center of Kyiv.
President Putin’s message in the 184th weekend since the large -scale invasion leaves little to be desired in clarity: there is no question whatsoever from peace or even any rapprochement to Ukraine. In recent months, the Ukrainian government has repeatedly said that it wants to talk directly to Russia about a file and termination of the war.
The Ukrainian population had a massive jump -off from 823 Russian Kamikazendrones, ballistic missiles and cross flight weapons in the night from Saturday to Sunday. With that, the Putin regime again established a ‘record’ in the war, Thus the Ukrainian Air Force.
Attack on offices of the Council of Ministers
The attack on the seat of the Ukrainian Council of Ministers in Petsjersky District, the historic heart of Kyiv and Ukraine, meant a novelty in the war; Until now, such buildings in the Ukrainian capital have been avoided by the Russians. The roof and some of the upper floors of the building were damaged.

Also in five other regions, including Zaporizja and Odesa, drones caused damage, where at least two people were killed. Dozens of civilians were injured in what according to Moscow An attack was on “military goals.”
The Ukrainian President VolodyYyr Zelensky responded Sunday morning immediately on the Russian attacks. “Such murders are conscious crimes that only extend the war, especially since real diplomacy could have been started long ago,” said Zensky.
‘Pressure with sanctions’
The Ukrainian Prime Minister Joelia Svyrydenko called on the world to “not only with words” to respond to “this destruction,” but with action. “It is necessary to increase the pressure of sanctions, especially against Russian oil and gas,” she wrote.

Zelensky reminded US President Donald Trump once again that he had already given Putin a prospect of Putin weeks ago if Moscow was not willing to end the war. “Washington has repeatedly warned that sanctions will follow if there is refused to negotiate.”
Elsewhere in Europe, the new Russian attack was also sharply convicted. “Again, the Kremlin mocks diplomacy by trampling international law and randomly killing it,” written The chairman of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer spoke of “cowardly attacks” who show that Putin “believes he can act impunity.” He doesn’t take peace seriously. “
Attacks more brutal and openly
In recent weeks, the Russians have not only intensified their war against Ukraine, the attacks are becoming increasingly brutal and open in the direction of the allies of Ukraine. Ten days ago an office building of the EU delegation in Kyiv was seriously damaged. Shortly before, the building of an American company was hit in the Ukrainian capital. Last month it was also announced that the Russians are trying to visualize weapons routes with drones over Germany.

The intensification of the Rusis war against Ukraine seems to be related to the return of Donald Trump in the White House last January. Unlike his predecessor Joe Biden, Trump is not willing to blame the war at Putin. On the contrary: Putin, who is being searched internationally for suspicion of war crime, was received last month with applause on a red carpet by Trump in Alaska.
Presumably Putin also feels strengthened by the ties he caught up in China last week with President Xi Jinping, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the North Koran leader Kim Jong-un. From an international paria, Putin has since become a seen guest in powerful countries.
Trump allows deadlines
Although Trump has been threatened several times in recent months with serious sanctions such as Russia Okrainian citizens, the US President lets the deadlines he himself put on Putin so far in silence and without consequences.
In the meantime, European leaders are trying to assist Ukraine militarily as much as possible while considering safety guarantees for Ukraine after the war.

In the meantime, KYIV seems to have little fiducia in a successful European-American intervention or a change in the Kremlin. The Ukrainians focus on the battlefield in Russia attempts to weaken as much military and economic as possible. Since a few months, KYIV has been conducting a systematic campaign that must contribute to the demolition of Putin’s war machine. Almost daily, Ukraine carries out attacks on the Russian oil industry with long-distance drones, by far the most important pillar under the economy and the engine of the Russian armed forces.
In recent weeks, dozens of attacks have been carried out on oil refineries, fuel depots, pump installations and pipelines. Different installations were hit several times and sometimes on fire for days. Among other things, refineries in Rjazan, Samara and Krasnodar – but also deeper into the country – have been the target of Ukrainian attacks this summer. Sunday The Ilsky refinery in the Krasnodar region was hit, just like the important Drezjba pipeline in Brjansk, says Kyiv. According to an estimate Van Reuters were disrupted by the Ukrainian attacks at the end of August around 17 percent of Russian refining capacity.
Russian fuel shortages
“Diesel becomes scarce, while gas and oil run out quickly” in Russia, written Commander Robert Brovdi of the Ukrainian Dronemacht – a separate army unit – last Friday. The result: long lines are waiting for cars for petrol pumps in some Russian regions, as it shows depict and newspaper reportsa ban on diesel exports and rationing of fuels in different places. According to The Moscow Times Diesel prices reached record highs last week.
XI, Putin and Modi find each other in aversion to Western dominance
In these attacks, Ukraine sees the best way to tackle Russia as long as Moscow continues to wage war. Not only does Kyiv sprinkle in the war machine, it shows the Russians at the same time that the war that Putin ways has consequences for the country and the population itself.
