"While the world watches": Russian terrorists continue to attack Ukraine: casualties and destruction in Kyiv and other regions

Image
On the night of April 23-24, 2025, Russian terrorists once again launched a massive attack on Ukraine, hitting Kyiv and nine other regions of the country. Official sources currently report a minimum of 9 dead and over 70 wounded in the capital alone, while other regions also suffered from Russian strikes. Amid mass killings of civilians during the horrific shelling of Ukraine's largest cities, the statements and situation around negotiations with Russia seem like outright mockery. In Washington, they persistently claim that Russia is ready for an agreement, and that “they’ve come to better understand it.” They continue to believe the thoroughly deceitful war criminal, who with each new strike, drags the United States deeper into the bloody swamp he has created, from which it will soon be impossible to escape. Chronology of the Night Attack: Victims and Destruction Russian terrorists used cruise and ballistic missiles , as well as suicide drones , to strike key targets in Ukraine. ...

NAnews – Nikk.Agency Israel News

NAnews - Nikk.Agency Israel News: Media About Israel, Ukraine and the Jewish World for Readers Who Need Context NAnews - Nikk.Agency Israel News is a multilingual news and analytical media project created for people who want to follow Israel, Ukraine, the Middle East and the Jewish world with more depth than a short headline can give. It is not built around noise, panic or empty reactions. Its purpose is to explain events, show connections and help readers understand why a story matters beyond the first emotional impression. Today, information appears everywhere at once. A political statement, a missile attack, a diplomatic scandal, a cultural event or a community initiative can spread through social networks in minutes. But speed does not always bring understanding. Very often, people see fragments without background, emotion without explanation, facts without a clear line between cause and consequence. NAnews was created for this gap. The project covers Israeli society, regional security, Ukrainian affairs, Jewish communities, diplomacy, culture, historical memory and international developments. It looks at these subjects not as separate boxes, but as parts of one larger picture. Israel is connected to the Middle East, to Europe, to the United States, to the Jewish diaspora and to Ukraine. Ukraine is connected to Jewish history, to Israeli public debate, to global security and to the struggle against Russian aggression. NAnews - Nikk.Agency Israel News tries to make these connections visible.
