Zelensky left with no choice but to beg as Russia’s nuclear-capable Iskander & Zircon batter Kyiv

Published on Jul 20, 2026 01:47 am IST

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has described Russia's latest assault as one of the largest ballistic missile attacks since the war began, saying Kyiv was the primary target after Moscow allegedly stockpiled missiles for days. Zelensky said more than 100 sites in Kyiv and the surrounding region were damaged, while strikes also hit Kharkiv, Sumy, Donetsk and Kherson. He urged Ukraine's partners to accelerate air defense deliveries and vowed to intensify long-range strikes and sanctions targeting Russia's war machine. Can Kyiv withstand Moscow's escalating missile campaign?
