On June 19, day 1,211 of the Ukraine conflict, a large-scale Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv resulted in 28 deaths and 130 injuries, with search and rescue ongoing. President Zelenskyy reported 440 drones and 32 missiles involved. Russia claimed to target military facilities, but civilian areas were severely impacted. Putin dismissed concerns regarding NATO and depicted Germany as an active member supporting Ukraine. He expressed willingness to meet with Germany's Chancellor but questioned their neutrality, while Zelenskyy planned to attend a NATO meeting discussing potential defense spending increases.
The death toll from a large-scale Russian attack on Kyiv earlier this week has risen to 28, with 130 injured, although rescue work is still under way.
Putin further said he does not consider Germany to be a neutral state, but a party supporting Ukraine, and in some cases as accomplices in these hostilities.
Putin has offered to meet with Zelenskyy but only during the final phase of talks to end the conflict.
Zelenskyy is reportedly planning to attend a NATO meeting in The Hague next week, where members will discuss raising defence spending to 5 percent.
