Five people, including three young children, have been killed in the latest overnight Russian attacks on Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, as United States-led efforts to end the nearly war continue to progress at a slow, bogged-down pace.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian leader said on Wednesday that a Russian drone had struck a private family home in the town of Bohodukhiv in Ukraine\u2019s northeastern Kharkiv region late on Tuesday, killing four and seriously injuring their pregnant mother, the sole survivor.<\/p>\n

The Kharkiv regional prosecutor\u2019s office said the strike completely destroyed the house, trapping the family beneath the rubble.<\/p>\n

It said three children were killed \u2013 twin boys aged two and their one-year-old sister \u2013 along with their father, 34.<\/p>\n

The children\u2019s mother, who is 35 weeks pregnant, was pulled alive from the rubble by rescue teams, suffering from blast injuries, a traumatic brain injury, burns and hearing loss, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

Mother fights for life<\/h2>\n

Volodymyr Bielyi, the mayor of Bohodukhiv, about 22km (13 miles) from the Russian border, announced on Facebook that the town would observe three days of mourning.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have lost what is most precious \u2013 our future,\u201d he said, adding that the children\u2019s mother was fighting for her life in hospital.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are no words to console the family; there is no prayer that could heal the heart of a mother who has lost her children,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Two killed in Sumy<\/h2>\n

In a separate overnight Russian drone attack in the northeastern Sumy region, two more children were killed, where several districts were targeted over the last 24 hours, Ukrainian authorities said.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said that since Tuesday night, 129 long-range Russian drones had been launched at Ukraine, with targets including a hospital in Zaporizhzhia, a railway depot in Sumy\u2019s Konotop that damaged a firefighting train, and other strikes in Dnipro and Poltava.<\/p>\n

Ukraine\u2019s Deputy Prime Minister Dmytro Kuleba said on Telegram that a railway station in the Dnipropetrovsk \u2060region had been attacked early on \u2060Wednesday, damaging locomotives, rail cars and infrastructure, in what he described as \u201canother targeted attack on civilian logistics \u200cand critical infrastructure\u201d.<\/p>\n

Zelenskyy said that the ongoing attacks showed that Russia was \u201cnot preparing to stop; they are preparing to continue fighting\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach such Russian strike undermines trust in everything being done diplomatically to end this war and, time and again, proves that only strong pressure on Russia and clear security guarantees for Ukraine are the real key to stopping the killings,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as pressure on the aggressor is insufficient and as long as security for us \u2013 for Ukraine \u2013 is not guaranteed, nothing else works.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ukraine strikes Russian targets<\/h2>\n

Meanwhile, Ukraine\u2019s General Staff said its aviation, missile troops and artillery had targeted nine areas of Russian personnel concentration, one drone control point, six artillery systems, five command posts and \u201cone other important target\u201d.<\/p>\n

Russian authorities said a Ukrainian drone attack had caused a fire at an industrial plant in the city of Volgograd, with the region\u2019s governor, Andrei Bocharov, saying that drone fragments had also damaged an apartment building.<\/p>\n

In a separate statement, the Russian Defence Ministry said its forces shot down 108 Ukrainian drones across Russian territory overnight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
