In one of the largest attacks on Ukraine since the invasion began this year, Russia unleashed a barrage of approximately 100 missiles on Kyiv and other cities in Ukraine Tuesday, hitting residential buildings and leaving half of Kyiv residents without electricity, authorities said.
Russia unleashed the barrage of missiles just hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly lambasted Moscow at the G20 summit, referring to the group of member states as the “G19” in a slight to the Kremlin.
The Ukrainian president virtually presented a ten-point peace plan to the summit, which included conditions that Russia withdraw its troops and Ukraine restore its territory. The proposal that Russia call it quits coincides with a crushing battlefield defeat for Moscow in the key city of Kherson.
