Russian attack on hospital, shopping center leaves 2 dead as Ukraine braces for fresh offensive

According to Ukrainian officials, a military hospital and shopping center in Ukraine were hit by a Russian drone attack on Saturday night, resulting in the death of two individuals and causing injuries to 35 others.

Oleh Syniehubov, the Regional Governor, denounced the assault on Kharkiv in a statement issued on Sunday, revealing that a 67-year-old man and a 70-year-old woman lost their lives. The ongoing attacks from Russia in Ukraine persist, despite efforts made by President Donald Trump’s administration to facilitate peace negotiations.

Ukraine says that many of the casualties were servicemen undergoing treatment at the military hospital.

Ukraine’s air force reported that the Russian assault utilized a total of 111 drones, out of which 65 were successfully intercepted, and the remaining 35 were either rendered inoperable through electronic means or malfunctioned on their own.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy predicted late last week that Russian forces would ramp up their attacks in the coming weeks in an effort to bolster their negotiating position for peace talks.

“They’re dragging out the talks and trying to get the U.S. stuck in endless and pointless discussions about fake ‘conditions’ just to buy time and then try to grab more land,” Zelenskyy said in a Thursday visit to Paris.

Saturday night’s attack came after four people died and 24 were injured Friday evening after Russian drones struck Dnipro in the country’s east, according to regional Gov. Serhii Lysak and Ukraine’s emergency service. At least eight more people were injured when a Russian ballistic missile struck nearby Kryvyi Rih, Zelenskyy’s hometown, Gov. Lysak reported.

Russian President Vladimir Putin himself praised the “strategic initiative” of his forces on Thursday.

“Our troops, our guys are moving forward and liberating one territory after another, one settlement after another, every day,” he said at a public forum.

Zelenskyy has pleaded with Trump’s administration not to give in to Putin’s demands at the negotiating table.

On Thursday, Zelenskyy met with French President Emmanuel Macron ahead of a summit in Paris of some 30 nations about how to strengthen Kyiv’s hand and its military as it pushes for a ceasefire with Russia. Proposals to deploy European troops in the country in tandem with any peace deal are also being discussed.
