THE GUARDIAN: Zelenskyy says Moscow ‘chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table’ after assault affecting more than 20 locations
Russian airstrikes have killed at least 12 people in a succession of attacks on Kyiv and wounded dozens in the most deadly night raid on the Ukrainian capital for several weeks.
Three children, aged two, 14 and 17, were among those killed, officials said, in an onslaught that Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said showed that Russia had no intention of negotiating an end to the war.
“These Russian missiles and attack drones today are a clear response to everyone in the world who, for weeks and months, has been calling for a ceasefire and for real diplomacy,” he said on social media. “Russia chooses ballistics instead of the negotiating table.” » | Dan Sabbagh in Kyiv | Thursday, August 28, 2025
