Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a bid for fast-track membership of the NATO military alliance at the end of September
Ukraine joining NATO could lead to a third world war, the deputy secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation said.
"Apparently, that's what they are counting on - to create informational noise and draw attention to themselves once again," TASS cited Mr Venediktov as saying. Mr Venediktov also reiterated the Russian notion that by helping Ukraine, the West "are a direct party to the conflict".
Kyiv regional governor Oleksiy Kuleba said the strike occurred in the area around the capital city. It was not yet clear if there were any casualties. Deputy head of the presidential office Kyrylo Tymoshenko said on Telegram that “critical infrastructure facilities” in the area were hit, without offering any details on which ones.
