Ukraine says 15 people hurt in 'massive' Russian attack on Kyiv
- Ukraine reported that a massive Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv injured 15 people and occurred hours after a prisoner exchange on May 24-25, 2025.
- The assault followed a long-awaited prisoner swap deal agreed earlier that week in Istanbul, where both sides began exchanging up to 1,000 prisoners each to pave the way for peace talks.
- The attack involved 14 ballistic missiles and 250 strike drones, mostly Iranian 'Shaheds,' and caused damage across several districts in Kyiv and other regions including Odesa and Kharkiv.
- Kyiv’s Mayor Vitali Klitschko described the attack as "massive" with explosions heard citywide, while President Zelenskyy condemned Russia for "prolonging the war" and called for stronger sanctions.
- The attack shattered hopes for immediate calm despite the prisoner exchange, as diplomatic efforts continue amid ongoing fighting and Russia signaling it will send peace terms after the swap.
