EXCLUSIVE: Russia Unleashes FURY on Ukrainian Capital Kyiv – Two Days Before Zelenskyy Meets Trump – as Residents Cower in Shelters Amid Blazing Explosions and Air Defences
- Russia launches devastating attack on Kyiv, sending residents scrambling for shelter as explosions rock the city
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy set to meet US President Donald Trump in just TWO DAYS to discuss peace plan
- Russia accuses Zelenskyy and EU backers of trying to ‘torpedo’ US-brokered peace deal, sparking fears of all-out war
- Desperate residents take to social media to share harrowing videos of explosions and air defences in action
Panic gripped the streets of Kyiv as Russia unleashed a ferocious attack on the Ukrainian capital, just 48 hours before a crucial meeting between President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and US President Donald Trump. The city was plunged into chaos as explosions rocked the streets, with air defences springing into action and residents cowering in shelters.
“Explosions in the capital. Air defence forces are operating. Stay in shelters!” Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko warned on Telegram, as the city teetered on the brink of chaos.
Reuters eyewitnesses described the terrifying scenes, with air defences blazing into action as drones and missiles swooped over the city. AFP journalists in Kyiv heard several deafening explosions, accompanied by blinding flashes that lit up the horizon like a fiery inferno.
The attack comes as Russia accuses Zelenskyy and his EU backers of trying to sabotage a US-brokered peace plan, designed to bring an end to the brutal four-year conflict. The plan, revealed by Zelenskyy earlier this week, proposes a 20-point accord that would freeze the war on its current front line, paving the way for Ukraine to withdraw troops from the east and establish demilitarised buffer zones.
But with tensions simmering, the Russian attack has sparked fears of all-out war. Zelenskyy’s meeting with Trump on Sunday takes on added urgency, as the two leaders strive to find a way to bring peace to the war-torn region.
As the people of Kyiv struggle to come to terms with the latest onslaught, one thing is clear: the stakes have never been higher. Will Zelenskyy and Trump be able to find a way to end the bloodshed, or will the conflict spiral out of control?
