Ukrainian officials issued nationwide air raid alerts as Andriy Yermak, President Zelensky’s chief of staff, warned of a missile attack on Kyiv, attributed to Russian President Vladimir Putin. The air force reported a missile entering Ukraine’s airspace aimed at the capital, following a week of intensified strikes, including one in Zelensky’s hometown that claimed multiple lives. This escalation comes as tensions rise, with reports of Russia mobilizing up to 50,000 troops, potentially supported by North Korean forces, to confront Ukrainian forces in the Kursk region.
