KYIV, Ukraine—Multiple blasts rocked Kyiv and other areas of Ukraine on Saturday, killing at least one person and wounding 14 others, in a sign that the pace of Russia attacks had picked up before New Year’s.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba highlighted the harsh civilian toll of this latest offensive—that “this time, Russia’s mass missile attack is deliberately targeting residential areas, not even the energy infrastructure.” Russia launched 20 cruise missiles over Ukraine on Saturday afternoon, of which Ukrainian forces shot down 12, according to Ukrainian military chief Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi.
“In many cities residential areas, hotels, just roads and garages are affected,” he wrote on Telegram. “It actually was really tough, you know, to wait so long,” he told The Associated Press after hugging and kissing Valeriia. As Russian attacks continue to target power supplies leaving millions without electricity, no big celebrations are expected and a curfew will be in place as the clock rings in the new year. But for most Ukrainians being together with their families is a luxury.
