Zelenskiy warns of new Russian operations in Europe
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says Russia is preparing new military operations in Europe as he indirectly expressed support for US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. "We are seeing a further intellectual regression on the part of the Russian leadership and have evidence that it is preparing new military operations in Europe," Zelenskiy wrote on Telegram. The leader said he had been briefed on the current situation by the head of Ukraine's military intelligence service, Kyrylo Budanov. Zelenskiy said he intends to discuss the details of the Russian military operations with Kyiv's partners. "We will inform our partners about the facts uncovered by our intelligence services," he wrote. "We are preparing joint defence decisions, in particular with the United Kingdom and the European Union." The warning came as an overnight Russian drone attack on Kyiv injured at least five civilians, sparked fires in residential areas and damaged an entrance to a metro station, Ukrainian authorities said on Monday. Metro stations are used as bomb shelters in Ukraine during Russian attacks. Earlier, three people were killed in a Russian missile attack on a Ukrainian military training area, the Ukrainian armed forces said. Another 11 people were injured in the attack, with further casualties prevented due to a timely warning by airspace surveillance, the Ukrainian army command said on Facebook on Sunday. The exact location of the military site was not disclosed. The Russian Defence Ministry detailed an attack on a Ukrainian military training ground in the southern Kherson region but said 70 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed by an Iskander ballistic missile. The information provided by the two sides could not be independently verified. It comes just a few weeks after at least 12 recruits were killed and dozens injured in a Russian attack on a military training area in Ukraine's Dnipropetrovsk region, according to official reports. The attack led to a reshuffle within the leadership of the Ukrainian command. Speaking in his nightly address, Zelenskiy also warned against the proliferation of nuclear weapons, as he indirectly expressed support for the US attacks on Iranian nuclear sites. "There must be no proliferation of nuclear weapons in the modern world," Zelenskiy said in his regular video address. "It is important that there is American resolve on this, the resolve of President (Donald) Trump," he added. The Ukrainian president said Russia is using Iranian Shahed drones in the war in Ukraine. "Iran's decisions to support Russia have brought massive destruction and devastating human losses to our country, and to many others." At the same time, Zelenskiy called for a focus on diplomacy. "Diplomacy has to start working. Working everywhere: in the Middle East, in the Gulf region, and here in Europe - in Ukraine," he said.

Ukraine says 'massive' Russian drone attack on Kyiv
Don't miss out on the headlines from Breaking News. Followed categories will be added to My News. Ukraine said Monday "another massive attack" on Kyiv by Russian drones was underway, a day after the country's top military commander vowed to increase the "scale and depth" of strikes on Russia. Diplomatic efforts to end the three-year war have stalled, with the last direct meeting between the two sides almost three weeks ago and no follow-up talks scheduled. "Another massive attack on the capital. Possibly, several waves of enemy drones," said a statement from Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv's military administration. Two people were hospitalised in the Solomianski district, said Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, and two others were injured near a metro station in the Sviatochinski district, Tkachenko later said. AFP journalists in Kyiv heard the buzzing of a drone flying over the city centre and explosions, as well as gunfire. They saw around 10 people sheltering in the basement of a residential building in central Kyiv waiting for the attack to end, most of them scrolling their phones for news. The latest strikes came after Ukrainian commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrsky vowed to intensify strikes on Russia. "We will not just sit in defence. Because this brings nothing and eventually leads to the fact that we still retreat, lose people and territories," he told reporters, including AFP. Syrsky said Ukraine would continue its strikes on Russian military targets, which he said had proved "effective". "Of course, we will continue. We will increase the scale and depth," he said. - Fair response - Ukraine has launched retaliatory strikes on Russia throughout the war, targeting energy and military infrastructure sometimes hundreds of kilometres from the front line. Kyiv says the strikes are a fair response to deadly Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure and civilians. At least four people were killed in an overnight Russian strike on an apartment building in the eastern Ukrainian city of Kramatorsk, while a strike on a Ukrainian army training ground later in the day killed three others, officials said. In wide-ranging remarks, Syrsky conceded that Russia had some advantages in drone warfare, particularly in making fibre-optic drones that are tethered and difficult to jam. "Here, unfortunately, they have an advantage in both the number and range of their use," he said. He also claimed that Ukraine still held 90 square kilometres (35 square miles) of territory in Russia's Kursk region, where Kyiv launched an audacious cross-border incursion last August. "These are our pre-emptive actions in response to a possible enemy offensive," he said. Russia said in April that it had gained full control of the Kursk region and denies that Kyiv has a presence there. Russia occupies around a fifth of Ukraine and claims to have annexed four Ukrainian regions as its own since launching its invasion in 2022 -- in addition to Crimea, which it captured in 2014. Kyiv has accused Moscow of deliberately sabotaging a peace deal to prolong its full-scale offensive on the country and to seize more territory. The Russian army said Sunday that it had captured the village of Petrivske in Ukraine's northeast Kharkiv region. Russian forces also sent at least 47 drones and fired three missiles towards Ukraine between late Saturday and early Sunday, the Ukrainian air force said. ant-cad/jxb/tc/fox Originally published as Ukraine says 'massive' Russian drone attack on Kyiv
