800 drones and missiles strike Ukraine in one night, Zelensky urges the West to send troops

Russia launched more than 800 drones and 13 missiles in an attack on Ukraine last Saturday night. Among them were four ballistic missiles, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a post on Telegram.

Meanwhile, in his first response after the unprecedented overnight attacks on Kyiv and several other areas, Zelensky called on allies to implement all the decisions agreed upon at the Paris meeting.

In last night’s attack, a 32-year-old woman and her 2-month-old child were killed in Kyiv."

"Zelensky said, *‘When diplomatic efforts have already begun long ago, such killings are nothing but deliberate crimes and an attempt to prolong the war.’*

To further discuss security guarantees for Ukraine, the *Coalition of the Willing* met in Paris this week. After Thursday’s meeting, French President Emmanuel Macron stated that 26 countries had pledged to guarantee Ukraine’s security in the post-war period. This includes the potential deployment of international troops in Ukraine and international monitoring of the country’s land, sea, and airspace.

The day after Macron’s statement, Putin issued a warning, saying that any Western troops deployed in Ukraine would become legitimate targets for Moscow’s strikes.

On Sunday, Zelensky wrote, *‘If the world chooses, it can force the Kremlin’s criminals to stop the killings. All that is needed is political will.’*

17 injured in Zaporizhzhia

Meanwhile, yesterday evening, 17 people were injured in a Russian strike on the city of Zaporizhzhia, according to regional governor Ivan Fedorov.

Outside the city, in the village of Novopavlivka, a ‘glide bomb’ strike killed one woman, while another person remains missing.
