At least 17 people were killed and more than 100 wounds this Tuesday, June 24 in Russian bombing in the Dnipropetrovsk (Central-East) region, according to Ukrainian authorities, kyiv denounces the “horror message” sent by Moscow at the time when the negotiations between the two fields are in a winding.
These new murderous attacks by the Russian army against a great city in Ukraine, after an attack of magnitude in kyiv on Sunday night to Monday, just before the opening of an NATO summit in The Hague.
He arrived in the Netherlands, the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, met with the Secretary General of the Mark Rutte Alliance and hopes to receive, from kyiv’s allies, new promises to help his country after almost three and a half years of Russian invasion.
Passengers to train wounded by strikes
In the field, the Russian forces continue their impulse in eastern Ukraine against a Ukrainian army in difficulty and less numerous, and multiply the bombings.
Around 11 am on Tuesday, according to the National Police of Ukraine, “the Russian army attacked the cities of Dnipro and Samar with missiles,” especially destroying an administrative building in the first. “Nine Dnipro residents and two Samar residents were killed,” police said.
More than 100 people were also injured, including passengers of a train that was “damaged” by these attacks, even according to this source.
According to the Ukrainian prosecutor’s office, school and health establishments have been remarkably affected.
“In terms of damage, this is probably one of the most important strikes against Dnipro” since the beginning of the Russian invasion in February 2022, Mayor Boris Filatov said.
Volodymyr Zelensky warned, on the other hand, that the balance could still increase. “Defender Ukraine means defending life,” he continued on the social network X.
The head of Ukrainian diplomacy, Andriï Sybiga, quickly denounced the “message of terror and rejection of peace” sent, according to him, by Moscow, whose army announced two weeks ago to attack the Dnipropetrovsk region, the first since 2022.
“The credibility of the allies is at the expense of the pressure on Moscow,” Andriï Sybiga urged, while Volodymyr Zelensky and the leaders of NATO member countries, including the American Donald Trump, joins from Tuesday in the Netherlands.
This NATO summit must validate the spectacular increase in security spending for member countries, in a tense global diplomatic context.
20% of the Ukrainian territory occupied by Russia
A meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Donald Trump, whose relations are fluctuating, is scheduled for Wednesday, according to a senior Ukrainian official, the US president confirms that “he would probably” meet with his Ukrainian counterpart.
The White House tenant pushes to stop hostilities, but his personal participation in the Ukrainian archive has, at this stage, not to have the positions closer to the two belligerents.
To do this, Donald Trump resumed the language with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. He also resumed elements of the Kremlin language in the origins of war, causing the wrath of the kyiv.
Ukraine still requires that the Russian army completely retire from its territory, occupied in almost 20% by Russia, while Moscow wants kyiv to be granted by the loss of annexed Ukrainian territories and partially occupied by the Russian forces, while renouncing NATO. Unacceptable requirements for Volodymyr Zelensky.
And Vladimir Putin still maintains these maximalist requests, denying again, at the end of last week, the sovereignty of Ukraine: “I consider the Russian and Ukrainian peoples as a single town. In this sense, all Ukraine belongs to us,” he said.
