"Russia forces targeted Ukrainian emergency responders with a deadly "double-tap" attack, Ukrainian officials said, wounding two responders in the northern region of Chernihiv. The overnight attack on September 21 was the second time in a week that Russian forces hit firefighters in the region who were responding to an earlier missile or drone attack, said Vladislav Chaus, the regional military administrator."
"In his overnight address, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the United States to impose "strong" measures against Russia amid surging tensions among NATO's easternmost members. Zelenskyy also repeated his stance that he is ready to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who so far has rejected a summit on neutral ground. Trump, who has long expressed admiration for Putin, has voiced frustration with the Kremlin leader's refusal to accept a cease-fire and his rejection of direct talks with Zelenskyy."
Russian forces targeted emergency responders with a "double-tap" attack in Chernihiv, wounding two firefighters attending an earlier strike. The September 21 attack marked a second recent hit on responders in the same week. Overnight, nearly six dozen drones struck targets across Ukraine in one of the smaller recent barrages, while recent months have seen hundreds of projectiles that strained Ukrainian defenses. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged the United States to impose strong measures on Russia and reiterated readiness to meet Vladimir Putin, who has rejected a neutral-ground summit, as NATO members registering airspace incursions demand firmer responses.
