BREAKING: Zelensky DEMANDS ‘Regime Change’ In Russia After Deadly Kyiv Strike Kills 16 Amid Tensions

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Western allies to seek "regime change" in Russia following a devastating drone and missile strike on Kyiv that killed 16 people, including a six-year-old boy. Over 150 were wounded in one of the most intense attacks in months. The overnight barrage hit a residential tower, causing mass devastation, just as Moscow claimed to have captured Chasiv Yar, a strategic town in eastern Ukraine. While Ukraine denies full Russian control, analysts admit the battle is “very difficult.” The brutal assault came shortly after U.S. President Donald Trump issued a 10-day ultimatum to Russia, threatening further sanctions. As the Kremlin pushes its offensive deeper into Donetsk, Kyiv faces political unrest at home after Zelensky was forced to withdraw a controversial anti-corruption bill under EU pressure. With Russia escalating attacks and Ukraine’s internal crisis deepening, the war enters a volatile new phase. #Zelensky #UkraineWar #KyivAttack #RussiaUkraine #RegimeChange #Putin #ChasivYar #UkraineCrisis #Trump #RussiaSanctions #KyivMissileStrike #EasternUkraine #WarInUkraine #UkrainePolitics #DroneAttack #HelsinkiAccords #RussiaAirstrikes #UkraineNews #AntiCorruption #DonetskRegion ~HT.318~GR.125~
