Russians continue escalating the massacre of Ukraine’s civilian population

The US President’s humiliating groveling and fealty toward the Russian dictator has been taken as Carte Blanche in Moscow as Russia continues to expand missile based atrocities all over Ukraine, now up ten-foldbin sone regions since Trump’s coronation. Today, in Kyiv’s early morning hours, Russians launched a wave of ballistic and cruise missiles alongside Shahed-type drones. The attack, which targeted residential neighborhoods, killed at least 10 people and injured over 70, including children.

The strikes hit multiple districts of the Ukrainian capital, setting homes ablaze and leaving civilians trapped beneath collapsed buildings. Emergency services worked through the morning to extract survivors, while medics treated the wounded in overwhelmed city hospitals.

This latest bombardment follows a brief pause in major attacks on the capital. Kyiv had not experienced such an intense strike in over a month, during which many residents hoped the city might be spared further destruction. Instead, Russian forces reasserted their pattern of deliberately targeting urban centers far from the front line.

Among the missiles launched were Kh-101 and Iskander variants, known for their use in past mass-casualty attacks on civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian air defense systems intercepted a significant number of incoming threats, but several missiles reached their targets. High-rise buildings in densely populated areas suffered direct hits.

The scale and timing of the attack—launched in the early morning hours when most residents were asleep—are consistent with previous Russian strikes aimed at maximizing civilian harm and psychological trauma. Russia has repeatedly targeted civilian homes, power plants, hospitals, and evacuation routes under the guise of military operations.

Despite Kremlin claims of targeting military infrastructure, no strategic sites were hit. Instead, the victims were ordinary people, many of whom were killed or injured in their own beds.

The continued use of mass missile strikes on civilian areas reflects a broader pattern of state-sanctioned terrorism by the Russian government. Since the start of the full-scale invasion, Moscow has relied on deliberate attacks against non-combatants in an effort to destabilize Ukrainian society and break civilian morale.

International observers and human rights organizations have repeatedly condemned Russia’s tactics as violations of international law. The April 25 attack adds to the growing body of evidence of systematic war crimes committed by Russian forces across Ukraine.

As rescue operations continue in Kyiv, pressure mounts on the international community to respond to Russia’s campaign not as conventional warfare, but as sustained aggression against civilians—a strategy rooted in fear, cruelty, and impunity.
