Russia launches massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine

In a significant escalation of the conflict, Russia launched a massive overnight missile and drone attack on June 2, targeting Kyiv and several other Ukrainian cities. The strikes resulted in numerous casualties, with many killed and over 100 injured. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the attack and urgently requested stronger air defense support, while the United Nations reiterated calls for a ceasefire. This latest aggression underscores the ongoing stalemate in peace efforts, more than four years after Russia's initial invasion, highlighting the urgent need for renewed diplomatic efforts to end the conflict.
