‘Nonsense Situation’: Zelensky Says Russian Offensive on Kharkiv Could be 'First Wave' of Attacks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has sharply criticised Western countries for imposing restrictions on the use of donated arms, accusing them of being "afraid" of both a Russian and Ukrainian defeat.
In a candid interview with AFP on Friday, Zelensky expressed his frustration over the conditions placed on the use of long-range weapons supplied to Kiev.
“They can fire any weapons from their territory at ours.
This is the biggest advantage that Russia has.
We can’t do anything to their systems, which are located on the territory of Russia, with Western weapons,” Zelensky stated in the interview aired on Saturday.
This restriction significantly hampers Ukraine's ability to retaliate against Russian forces effectively.
Ukrainian elections remain suspended under martial law, extended until February 2025, as the nation prioritizes defense and internal stability. President Zelensky has emphasized achieving a "just peace" before resuming democratic processes. Logistical challenges, including displaced citizens and safety concerns, further complicate the electoral landscape.

The weapons are expected to be used in response to North Korea's decision to send thousands of troops to Russia in support of Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, according to one of the sources.

In one of the deadliest attacks in months, Russian forces launched a devastating assault on Ukraine using 120 drones and 90 missiles, marking a significant escalation in the ongoing conflict. The attack, which targeted key infrastructure across Ukrainian cities, is being described as the most intense bombardment in recent weeks. Ukrainian officials confirmed that various types of drones, including Iranian-made Shaheds, as well as cruise and ballistic missiles, were deployed in the strike. President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Ukrainian defenses were able to shoot down 140 air targets, but the attack caused significant damage to civilian infrastructure and left dozens injured. In Mykolaiv, two people were killed and six others injured, including two children, when a drone hit the city. In Odesa, another strike caused widespread destruction, killing two and disrupting power and water supplies in the region.

In a devastating escalation of hostilities, a Russian S-400 missile struck a police building in Kharkiv, Ukraine, on Friday, resulting in the tragic death of at least one officer and injuring dozens more. The attack has drawn condemnation and heightened fears of increasing violence in the region. According to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, the strike killed a 43-year-old police colonel and left 30 police officers, one first responder, and nine civilians wounded, with some injuries reported as critical.
As investigations continue, the specifics of the targeted facility remain undisclosed, but regional authorities confirm significant collateral damage, including impacts on nearby residential areas. This missile strike marks a notable instance of Russia's alleged use of surface-to-air missiles for ground attacks, raising serious questions about the safety of civilian infrastructure amidst ongoing military operations.

Dmitry Medvedev shared a video of Russia’s Oreshnik hypersonic missile striking a Ukrainian defense facility in Dnepropetrovsk, clarifying that it wasn’t an ICBM, but a medium-range missile developed after the US withdrew from the INF Treaty. The strike responded to Ukraine's use of Western long-range missiles against Russian territory. Putin warned further actions by Ukraine and its allies would trigger a suitable response, emphasizing the Oreshnik’s speed makes it invincible to air defenses.

Russia launched its first-ever intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Ukraine, targeting critical infrastructure in Dnipro. This unprecedented strike marks a significant escalation in the conflict, following Ukraine's recent attacks inside Russian territory using U.S. and British missiles. The long-range missile, capable of carrying nuclear warheads, heightens tensions and raises concerns about potential nuclear confrontation, with Putin's altered nuclear doctrine adding to the uncertainty.

The US Embassy in Kyiv closed temporarily after a warning of a significant air attack, with staff instructed to shelter in place. This move follows Ukraine’s use of US-supplied ATACMS missiles against Russian territory. In response, Russia has lowered its nuclear response threshold, intensifying risks of further escalation. These developments mark a crucial point in the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, now entering its 1,000th day.
