伦敦-周六晚上到周日早上，俄罗斯无人机和导弹再次轰炸了乌克兰各地的城市，尽管三年战争以来最大规模的囚犯交换已经完成。
波兰——一个西面与乌克兰接壤的北约国家——的武装部队作战司令部在一份周日早报中向X表示，在俄罗斯的攻击中，其战斗机紧急起飞。声明称，“已观察到俄罗斯联邦远程航空的密集活动，与对位于乌克兰西部领土等地的物体进行的打击有关。”
乌克兰空军在给电报的一封邮件中说，俄罗斯共向全国目标发射了367辆“空中攻击机”，其中包括9枚伊斯坎德尔弹道导弹、56枚巡航导弹、4枚制导航空导弹和298架无人驾驶攻击机。
空军表示，在袭击中，45枚巡航导弹和266架无人机被击落或以其他方式失效。
“乌克兰的大部分地区都受到了敌人袭击的影响，”空军写道，据报道，有22个地方遭到了袭击，15个地方被击落了巡航导弹或无人攻击机。
乌克兰内政部在一份声明中表示，至少有18人丧生，其中有三名儿童来自同一个家庭，另有85人受伤。它补充说，超过80栋居民楼受损，记录了27起火灾。
周日早些时候，弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基总统在社交媒体上写道，“今天，在俄罗斯大规模打击后，救援人员一直在30多个乌克兰城市和村庄工作。”
“这些是对普通城市的蓄意袭击，”泽连斯基继续说道。“普通住宅被摧毁和损坏。在基辅，大学历史系的宿舍被击中。也有针对企业的罢工。悲惨的是，包括儿童在内的人被杀害。”
俄罗斯国防部声称，这些袭击构成了“对乌克兰军事工业综合体企业的大规模打击，这些企业为乌克兰武装部队生产导弹武器部件、无线电电子设备、炸药、火箭燃料和无人驾驶攻击机，以及无线电技术侦察和卫星通信中心。”
“罢工的目标已经实现，”该部在给Telegram的一封邮件中说。"所有指定目标都被击中了。"
根据乌克兰空军的数据，最近的袭击标志着俄罗斯连续第四个晚上向乌克兰发射了100多枚导弹和无人机。尽管最近几个月几乎每夜都有远程攻击发生，但俄罗斯最近的轰炸以其规模而闻名。
乌克兰也在继续对俄罗斯进行无人机袭击，莫斯科国防部报告称，周日夜间有110架乌克兰无人机被击落。
尽管周五开始了为期多天的囚犯交换过程，但炮轰仍然发生。据泽连斯基称，预计双方将交换约1000名士兵，这一过程将于周日上午完成。
此次囚犯交换是自2022年2月莫斯科入侵以来规模最大的一次。俄罗斯和乌克兰在整个冲突中交换了战俘，尽管他们未能达成持久的停火协议。
自唐纳德·特朗普总统1月重返白宫以来，美国斡旋的和平谈判同样未能达成协议，基辅和莫斯科都指责对方破坏谈判。
乌克兰要求全面停火30天，在此期间可以进行和平谈判。泽连斯基一再排除在任何和平协议中向俄罗斯割让领土的可能性。
特朗普对俄罗斯实施新制裁的威胁——尽管乌克兰和欧洲呼吁美国对弗拉基米尔·普京总统施加更多压力，但这一威胁尚未实现——似乎没有推动克里姆林宫远离其最大化战争目标，这基本上等同于乌克兰投降。
这些要求包括吞并四个部分被占领的乌克兰地区，加上保留俄罗斯在2014年占领的克里米亚，基辅的非军事化，永久阻止乌克兰加入北约，以及该国的“非纳粹化”——这是一个模糊的要求，因为俄罗斯错误地将乌克兰政府描述为极右翼独裁政权。
乌克兰领导人认为，俄罗斯持续的大规模袭击证明，莫斯科并不真心呼吁和平。
“俄罗斯的每一次此类恐怖袭击都足以成为对俄罗斯实施新制裁的理由，”泽连斯基周日表示。“俄罗斯正在拖延这场战争，每天都在继续杀戮。世界可能会在周末休息，但战争仍在继续，不管周末和工作日。这一点不容忽视。美国的沉默，世界上其他人的沉默只会鼓励普京。”
“如果不对俄罗斯领导层施加真正强大的压力，这种暴行就无法停止，”他补充道。“制裁肯定会有帮助。决心现在很重要，这是美国、欧洲国家以及全世界所有寻求和平的人的决心。世界知道俄罗斯经济的所有弱点。”
泽连斯基说:“战争可以停止，但只能通过对俄国施加必要的压力。”。“必须迫使普京考虑的不是发射导弹，而是结束战争。”
泽连斯基办公室主任安德烈·叶尔马克(Andriy Yermak)周日早些时候在电报中写道，“不是停火，而是谋杀。”
“没有压力，什么都不会改变，俄罗斯及其盟友只会为西方国家的此类谋杀积聚力量，”耶尔马克继续说道。“莫斯科只要有能力生产武器，就会打仗。”
Russia hits Ukraine with massive drone, missile barrage amid prisoner exchange
LONDON --Russian drones and missiles again bombarded cities across Ukraine on Saturday night into Sunday morning despite the completion of the largest prisoner exchange of the 3-year-old war.
The Armed Forces Operational Command in Poland -- a NATO nation that borders Ukraine to the west -- said in a Sunday morning post to X that its fighter jets were scrambled during the Russian attack. "Intensive activity of long-range aviation of the Russian Federation has been observed, associated with strikes carried out on objects located, among others, in the western territory of Ukraine," the statement said.
Ukraine's air force said in a post to Telegram that Russia launched a total of 367 "air attack vehicles" -- among them nine Iskander ballistic missiles, 56 cruise missiles, four guided air missiles and 298 attack drones -- at targets across the country.
The air force said 45 cruise missiles and 266 drones were shot down or otherwise neutralized during the attack.
"Most regions of Ukraine were affected by the enemy attack," the air force wrote, with strikes reported in 22 locations and downed cruise missiles or strike drones reported in 15 locations.
Ukraine's Interior Ministry said in a statement that at least 18 people were killed -- among them three children from the same family -- and 85 people injured. More than 80 residential buildings were damaged and 27 fires recorded, it added.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wrote on social media early Sunday, "Today, rescuers have been working in more than 30 Ukrainian cities and villages following Russia’s massive strike."
"These were deliberate strikes on ordinary cities," Zelenskyy continued. "Ordinary residential buildings were destroyed and damaged. In Kyiv, dormitories of the university's history department were hit. There were also strikes on enterprises. Tragically, people were killed, including children."
Russia's Defense Ministry claimed the attacks constituted "a massive strike by sea, air, land-based precision weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles against enterprises of Ukraine's military-industrial complex that produce missile weapon components, radio electronics, explosives, rocket fuel and strike drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as radio-technical reconnaissance and satellite communications centers."
"The targets of the strike have been achieved," the ministry said in a post to Telegram. "All designated targets have been hit."
The latest attack marks the fourth consecutive night during which Russia launched more than 100 missiles and drones into Ukraine, per Ukrainian air force figures. Though long-range attacks have occurred almost nightly in recent months, Russia's recent bombardments have been notable for their scale.
Ukraine is also continuing its own drone strikes into Russia, with the Defense Ministry in Moscow reporting the downing of 110 Ukrainian drones overnight into Sunday.
The barrages came despite the beginning of a multi-day prisoner exchange process on Friday. Some 1,000 troops from both sides were expected to be swapped, with the process complete as of Sunday morning, according to Zelenskyy.
The prisoner exchange was the largest since Moscow's invasion began in February 2022. Russia and Ukraine have swapped prisoners of war throughout the conflict, despite their failure to agree a lasting ceasefire.
U.S.-brokered peace talks since President Donald Trump's return to office in January have likewise failed to reach an accord, with both Kyiv and Moscow accusing each other of undermining negotiations.
Ukraine is demanding a full 30-day ceasefire, during which time peace talks can take place. Zelenskyy has repeatedly ruled out ceding territory to Moscow in any peace deal.
Trump's threats of new sanctions on Russia -- as yet unrealized despite Ukrainian and European appeals for more American pressure on President Vladimir Putin -- do not appear to have pushed the Kremlin away from its maximalist war goals, which essentially equate to Ukrainian capitulation.
Those demands include the annexation of four partially-occupied Ukrainian regions -- plus the retention of Crimea, which Russia seized in 2014 -- Kyiv's demilitarization, a permanent block on Ukrainian accession to NATO and the "denazification" of the country -- a nebulous demand based on Russia's false representation of the Ukrainian government as a far-right dictatorship.
Ukrainian leaders have cited Russia's continued massed strikes as evidence that Moscow is not genuine in its appeals for peace.
"Each such terrorist Russian strike is a sufficient reason for new sanctions against Russia," Zelenskyy said on Sunday. "Russia is dragging out this war and continues to kill every day. The world may go on a weekend break, but the war continues, regardless of weekends and weekdays. This cannot be ignored. Silence of America, silence of others around the world only encourage Putin."
"Without truly strong pressure on the Russian leadership, this brutality cannot be stopped," he added. "Sanctions will certainly help. Determination matters now -- the determination of the United States, of European countries, and of all those around the world who seek peace. The world knows all the weaknesses of the Russian economy."
"The war can be stopped, but only through the necessary force of pressure on Russia," Zelenskyy said. "Putin must be forced to think not about launching missiles, but about ending the war."
Andriy Yermak -- the head of Zelenskyy's office -- wrote on Telegram early Sunday, "Instead of a ceasefire, there are murders."
"Without pressure, nothing will change and Russia and its allies will only build up forces for such murders in Western countries," Yermak continued. "Moscow will fight as long as it has the ability to produce weapons."
