俄罗斯近期动用数百架无人机和数十枚导弹袭击了乌克兰的民用区域，袭击持续了数小时，造成至少16人死亡，80多人受伤。官方周四表示，俄军发射了近700架无人机以及数十枚弹道和巡航导弹，这是近两周来规模最大的一次空中攻势。54岁的基辅居民特蒂亚娜表示，两枚导弹在其住宅附近爆炸，巨大的冲击波震碎了玻璃，她不得不带着宠物紧急避难。莫斯科方面的武装力量在长达四年的全面入侵中，几乎每天都会打击民用目标。联合国数据显示，已有超过1.5万名乌克兰平民在空袭中丧生。
针对此次轰炸，乌克兰总统本周前往德国、挪威和意大利，紧急寻求更多能够拦截俄罗斯导弹的防空系统。俄罗斯的冬季打击已导致乌克兰第聂伯罗地区近80万户家庭失去电力和供暖。消防员正在基辅多处废墟进行灭火作业，由于俄军持续采用无人机与导弹混合的饱和攻击模式，乌克兰的防空压力正达到极限。

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.
