乌克兰基辅（美联社）——官方周四表示，俄罗斯使用数百架无人机和数十枚导弹对乌克兰平民区进行了长达数小时的狂轰滥炸，造成至少16人死亡，80多人受伤。这是近两周来规模最大的一次空中袭击。
袭击规模与损失
当局称，俄方发射了近 700 架无人机以及数十枚弹道导弹和巡航导弹，主要针对平民区。自四年多前全面入侵以来，俄罗斯几乎每天都在袭击平民区。联合国数据显示，已有超过 1.5 万名乌克兰平民在袭击中丧生。
外交求援与防御压力
此次轰炸发生之际，乌克兰总统泽连斯基刚刚结束对德国、挪威和意大利的访问，寻求更多防空系统。乌克兰担心伊朗局势正在消耗其所需的先进美制系统库存。泽连斯基在社交媒体上表示：“又一个夜晚证明，俄罗斯不配获得任何全球政策的缓和或制裁的解除。”
援助落实延迟
泽连斯基感谢德国、挪威和意大利签署的新协议，并表示正与荷兰合作争取更多物资。然而，他同时指出，一些伙伴国家尚未履行军事支持承诺。他已指示空军司令联系那些此前承诺提供“爱国者”系统导弹及其他防御系统的合作伙伴。据基辅方面消息，死者中包括一名12岁的儿童。

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia hammered civilian areas of Ukraine with hundreds of drones and dozens of missiles in an attack that stretched for hours from daytime into the night, killing at least 16 people and injuring more than 80 others in its biggest aerial barrage in almost two weeks, officials said Thursday.
Russia launched nearly 700 drones and dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles, primarily targeting civilians, authorities said. Moscow's forces have hit civilian areas almost daily since its all-out invasion of its neighbor more than four years ago, with the regular assaults occasionally punctuated by massive attacks. More than 15,000 Ukrainian civilians have died in the strikes, the United Nations says.
The latest bombardment came in the wake of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's 48-hour trip this week to Germany, Norway and Italy in an urgent search for more air defense systems that can stop Russian missiles. Ukraine fears the Iran war is burning through stockpiles of the advanced American-made systems it needs, and has argued against a U.S. temporary waiver on Russian oil sanctions that Kyiv says is helping finance the Kremlin's war effort.
"Another night has proven that Russia does not deserve any easing of global policy or lifting of sanctions," Zelenskyy said on X.
He thanked Germany, Norway and Italy for new agreements this week on supporting Ukraine's air defense. Officials are also working with the Netherlands on additional supplies, he said.
At the same time, he noted that some partner countries haven't followed through on pledges of military support.
"I have instructed the Commander of the Air Force to contact those partners who earlier committed to providing missiles for Patriot and other systems," Zelenskyy said.
At least four people were killed in Kyiv, including a 12-year-old, with more than 50 others injured, according to authorities.
Tetiana Sokol, a 54-year-old resident of Kyiv, said two missiles hit near her home and she took cover with her dog in the hallway as flashes lit up the night and windows shattered from the blast wave.
"On the third attack everything broke, everything flew, we were shocked, we didn't know where to run. I grabbed whatever came to hand and ran away with the dog," she told The Associated Press. "I still can't find the cats in the house, they climbed out somewhere, I don't even know. No windows, nothing, the dog is still walking around in stress."
Nine people were killed and 23 injured in the southern port city of Odesa, three were killed and around three dozen injured in the central Dnipro region, and one person was killed in Zaporizhzhia in the south.
"Such attacks cannot be normalized. These are war crimes that must be stopped and their perpetrators held to account," Ukraine's Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on X.
