Details: Trump’s envoy said that Russia had carried out the second-biggest bombardment of Kyiv since the start of the full-scale invasion, using over 600 drones and 31 missiles.
"The targets? Not soldiers and weapons but residential areas in Kyiv – blasting civilian trains, the EU & British mission council offices, and innocent civilians. These egregious attacks threaten the peace that the US President is pursuing," he added.
Background:
- On the night of 27-28 August, Russian troops launched a large-scale attack on Ukraine, using 629 aerial assets. Missile and strike drone hits were recorded in 13 locations, with downed aircraft (debris) falling in another 26 locations.
