Russia Resumes Mass Strikes on Ukraine; Cross-Border Attack on Moldova Border
Russia has resumed large-scale missile and drone strikes across Ukraine, including Kyiv, following a three-day pause that coincided with US envoy visits. Concurrently, a Russian strike targeted a Ukraine-Moldova border crossing, killing two. These actions signal a clear escalation of hostilities and a rejection of diplomatic overtures, with high confidence in the resumption of strikes and medium confidence in the Moldova border incident.
