**Russian Drone Attack on Zaporizhzhia Leaves 31 Injured, Including Two Children**
A devastating Russian drone attack on the city of Zaporizhzhia has left 31 people injured, including two children. The attack occurred overnight on May 1-2 and lasted for 14 minutes, during which 11 Shahed-type explosive drones were launched at the city.
According to Ivan Fedorov, the head of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration, seven of the wounded are still hospitalized, while others continue to arrive at hospitals. This attack is just the latest in a series of deliberate daily air attacks by Moscow on residential areas and civilian infrastructure.
**Targeting Energy Infrastructure and Civilian Life**
Fedorov reported that 27 apartment buildings, over 10 one-family homes, non-residential structures, and educational institutions were damaged in the attack. A civilian locomotive repair plant was also destroyed, disrupting its operations. This is a clear example of Moscow’s strategy to target energy infrastructure and disrupt civilian life.
**US Pressure on Kyiv to Make Concessions**
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump is reportedly pressuring Kyiv into making concessions to Russia in order to announce an alleged ceasefire in the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian war. However, it seems that Moscow has no intention of stopping its attacks on Ukrainian civilians and infrastructure.
**Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Responds**
In a statement posted on X, Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs condemned the attack, saying that Russia targeted homes, an educational facility, and a key infrastructure site in Zaporizhzhia. The ministry emphasized that the path to peace starts with pressure – sanctions, support for Ukraine’s defense, and unwavering unity to stop the killing and bring lasting stability.
**Conclusion**
The Russian drone attack on Zaporizhzhia is yet another example of Moscow’s disregard for human life and civilian infrastructure. As the international community continues to watch, it’s clear that Russia will only stop its attacks when it feels pressure from the outside. The people of Ukraine deserve better, and it’s time for the world to take action.
