06.04.2025Day of Kyiv Media Attack and Air Defense Push
Russia launched a massive overnight attack on Ukraine with 23 missiles and over 100 drones, continuing the escalation pattern seen after the deadly Kryvyi Rih strike. Air defenses intercepted 13 missiles and 40 drones, but Kyiv suffered strikes across three districts, with state TV channels Freedom, Dim, and UATV offices specifically targeted. One civilian died and three were injured in the capital.

By midday, Zelensky had directed intensified contact with partners on air defense systems, even proposing manufacturing in Ukraine, as military officials reported Russia had modified its missiles to make them harder to intercept. The Kryvyi Rih death toll rose to 20, confirming it as the deadliest attack for children since February 2022.

New air alerts sounded in the evening while international reactions formed: Macron condemned the strikes, and a pro-Ukraine rally was held in Washington. Meanwhile, Trump officials explained Russia's exemption from new tariffs as related to ongoing war-ending negotiations.
