乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基表示，俄罗斯周日在基辅发动大规模袭击，使用了一枚威力强大的高超音速导弹，造成至少两人死亡。此次袭击使用的“奥列什尼克”弹道导弹具备核能力，这是俄罗斯在四年战争中第三次使用该武器。
乌克兰当局称，这场由无人机和导弹袭击组成的密集空袭是2022年战争爆发以来规模最大的空袭之一。乌克兰首都多处建筑受损，包括政府办公楼附近、住宅楼、一个市场和学校。令人揪心的画面显示，救援人员正试图从一处在袭击中部分被毁并燃起大火的住宅楼中疏散人员。
此次袭击造成至少83人受伤。
泽连斯基在Telegram发帖称，这种可携带核弹头或常规弹头的“奥列什尼克”导弹袭击了基辅地区的白采尔科维市，袭击目标目前尚不清楚。
俄罗斯国防部周日证实，俄军使用了“奥列什尼克”导弹及其他型号导弹，打击了乌克兰的“军事指挥和控制设施、空军基地和军工企业”。该部门未具体说明打击目标的位置，并补充称此次袭击是对乌克兰袭击“俄罗斯境内民用设施”的报复，未提供更多细节。

数小时后，俄国防部在另一份社交媒体声明中称，在对乌克兰的夜间袭击中，俄军未瞄准任何民用场所。
俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京周五谴责了一起针对俄占乌克兰东部一所大学宿舍的无人机袭击，莫斯科方面将此归咎于乌克兰，并下令俄军提交报复方案。他称该宿舍附近没有军事或执法设施。
俄罗斯紧急情况部新闻处周六晚表示，斯塔罗别利斯克袭击事件的死亡人数已升至21人，搜救工作已结束。该部门称，前一晚的袭击还造成另外42人受伤。卢甘斯克地区由克里姆林宫任命的当局宣布周日和周一为哀悼日，以纪念遇难者。
在俄罗斯请求召开的联合国安理会紧急会议上，乌克兰大使安德烈·梅尔尼克否认了俄罗斯外交官提出的战争罪指控，称其是“纯粹的宣传秀”，并坚称5月22日的行动“仅针对俄罗斯战争机器”。
乌克兰及其盟友指责俄罗斯自战争初期以来 routinely targeting平民和关键民用基础设施，克里姆林宫对此予以否认。
俄罗斯称“奥列什尼克”导弹可免疫任何导弹防御系统
俄罗斯于2024年11月首次在乌克兰第聂伯罗市使用这种配备多弹头的“奥列什尼克”导弹，今年1月在西部利沃夫地区第二次使用该武器。
据乌克兰空军称，最新的联合袭击包括600架攻击无人机和90枚空射、海射及陆射导弹。乌克兰防空系统击落并干扰了549架无人机和55枚导弹。空军表示，约有19枚导弹未能命中目标。
此前，泽连斯基援引美国和西方伙伴的情报警告称，俄罗斯计划使用“奥列什尼克”导弹。
包括法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙和德国议员弗里德里希·默茨在内的基辅欧洲盟友在周日发布的在线声明中，谴责了俄罗斯的空袭及使用“奥列什尼克”导弹的行为。
“俄罗斯在战场上陷入绝境，因此故意袭击城市中心来恐吓乌克兰。这些是令人发指的恐怖行径，目的是尽可能多地杀害平民，”欧盟外交政策负责人卡娅·卡拉斯在X平台上发帖称。

她补充说，欧盟各国高级外交官将在几天内举行会议，“讨论如何加大对俄罗斯的国际施压力度”。
俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京此前表示，“奥列什尼克”在俄语中意为“榛子树”，其飞行速度可达音速的10倍，即10马赫，能够摧毁“地下三四层甚至更深的”地下掩体。
普京称，这种武器“像陨石一样”飞行，可免疫任何导弹防御系统，并补充称，即使配备常规弹头，数枚此类导弹的破坏力也可与核打击相当。
空袭警报整夜响彻全城，袭击引发的浓烟笼罩了整个城市。美联社记者听到市中心附近和政府大楼附近传来剧烈爆炸声。
此次袭击凸显乌克兰防空导弹短缺
泽连斯基表示，并非所有弹道导弹都被拦截，大部分袭击都击中了作为本次袭击主要目标的基辅。
此次袭击及明显的拦截失败凸显了乌克兰在能够拦截弹道导弹的防空导弹方面长期短缺的问题。基辅严重依赖美国爱国者防空系统来拦截此类武器，但拦截导弹仍严重短缺，这也是乌克兰向西方伙伴提出的最紧急请求之一。
研发国产替代武器已成为乌克兰国防部的首要任务，尽管这需要大量时间和资金。
周日，俄罗斯通过向基辅倾泻大量弹道导弹，可能也是为了在今年夏天可能到来的更猛烈的袭击浪潮之前，耗尽乌克兰有限的防空导弹库存。
至今仍留在基辅的居民考虑搬迁
乌克兰紧急服务部门在Telegram发帖称，首都多个地区的50处地点出现受损情况，包括住宅楼、购物中心和学校。该部门称，警察局大楼也遭到破坏。
大火持续蔓延至次日早晨，建筑物因爆炸倒塌，使救援工作复杂化。
“那是一个可怕的夜晚，整个战争期间都从未发生过类似的事情，”55岁的基辅居民斯维特兰娜·奥诺弗里丘克说，她在受损的市场工作了22年。
“我非常遗憾现在不得不告别基辅，我不会再留在那里了，已经没有办法继续下去了，”她补充道，“我的工作没了，一切都没了，所有东西都被烧毁了。”
74岁的基辅居民叶夫根尼·佐辛目睹了袭击，他说听到爆炸声的那一刻，他就冲过去抱他的狗。
“接着又发生了一次爆炸，冲击波把我和它像针一样掀翻在地。我们俩都活了下来，我和它。我的公寓被炸成了碎片，”他说。
乌克兰国家紧急服务部门报告称，在基辅舍甫琴科区，一栋五层住宅楼被击中并引发火灾，造成一人死亡。
基辅市长维塔利·克利奇科称，一所学校大楼在袭击中受损，当时人们正在楼内避难。当地当局报告称，全市各地的超市和仓库也遭到破坏。
基辅地区州长尼古拉·卡拉什尼克表示，整个基辅地区的多个社区都出现了受损情况。
在其他地区，当地当局周日上午报告称，一架乌克兰无人机在毗邻乌克兰的别尔哥罗德州俄罗斯小镇格雷沃龙造成一名平民死亡。
俄罗斯国防部称， overnight 至周日凌晨，俄军击落或干扰了33架乌克兰无人机，包括在莫斯科地区、俄罗斯西部和西南部以及俄占克里米亚上空的无人机。

At least 2 dead, 83 wounded after Russia uses nuclear-capable missile in massive attack on Ukraine
May 24, 2026 9:09 AM EDT / CBS/AP
Russia used a powerful hypersonic missile to carry out a massive attack Sunday in Kyiv, which killed at least two people, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said. The Oreshnik ballistic missile used in the attack has nuclear capabilities, and its latest bombardment marked the third time Russia has used that weapon over the course of the four-year war.
The intense aerial assault, involving both drone and missile strikes, was among the largest since the war began in 2022. It left buildings damaged across the Ukrainian capital, including near government offices, residential buildings, a market and schools, Ukrainian authorities said. Harrowing images showed rescue workers trying to evacuate people from a residential building that was partially destroyed and set ablaze in the barrage.
At least 83 people were wounded in the attack.
The Oreshnik, which is capable of carrying nuclear or conventional warheads, struck the city of Bila Tserkva in the Kyiv region, Zelenskyy said in a post on Telegram. The target was not immediately clear.
Russia’s Defense Ministry on Sunday confirmed it used the Oreshnik, as well as other missile types, to strike Ukrainian “military command and control facilities,” air bases and military industrial enterprises. It did not specify where the targets were. The ministry added the attack was retaliation for Ukrainian attacks on “civilian facilities on Russian territory,” without giving detail.

In a separate social media statement hours later, it said no civilian sites were targeted in the overnight strike on Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday denounced a drone strike on a college dormitory in Russian-occupied eastern Ukraine, which Moscow blames on Kyiv, and ordered the Russian military to submit its proposals for retaliation. He said there were no military or law enforcement facilities near the college.
The death toll from the strike in Starobilsk had risen to 21 as search-and-rescue operations closed, the press service of Russia’s Ministry of Emergency Situations said late on Saturday. It said 42 other people had been wounded in the attack the previous night. The Kremlin-installed authorities of the Luhansk region announced two days of mourning on Sunday and Monday to honor the victims.
At a U.N. Security Council emergency meeting on the strike, held at the request of Russia, Ukrainian Ambassador Andrii Melnyk denied his Russian counterpart’s accusations of war crimes, calling them a “pure propaganda show” and asserting that the May 22 operations “exclusively targeted the Russian war machine.”
Ukraine and its allies have accused Russia of routinely targeting civilians and key civilian infrastructure since the early days of the war. The Kremlin denies this.
Russia says the Oreshnik is immune to any missile defense system
Russia first used the multiple-warhead Oreshnik on the Ukrainian city of Dnipro in November 2024. It was used a second time in January in the western Lviv region.
The latest combined attack included 600 strike drones and 90 air, sea and ground-launched missiles, according to Ukraine’s Air Force. Ukrainian air defenses destroyed and jammed 549 drones and 55 missiles. Around 19 missiles failed to reach targets, the Air Force said.
Earlier, Zelenskyy warned that Russia was planning to use the Oreshnik, citing intelligence from the U.S. and Western partners.
Kyiv’s European allies, including France’s Emmanuel Macron and Germany’s Friedrich Merz, condemned the Russian strikes and use of the Oreshnik in online statements published on Sunday.
“Russia hit a dead-end on the battlefield, so it terrorizes Ukraine with deliberate strikes on city centers. These are abhorrent acts of terror meant to kill as many civilians as possible,” Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, posted on X.

She added that top diplomats from EU states will meet within days to “discuss how to dial up the international pressure on Russia.”
President Vladimir Putin earlier said the Oreshnik, which means “hazelnut tree” in Russian, streaks at 10 times the speed of sound, or Mach 10, and is capable of destroying underground bunkers “three, four or more floors down.”
The weapon travels “like a meteorite” and is immune to any missile defense system, Putin said, adding that several such missiles, even fitted with conventional warheads, could be as devastating as a nuclear strike.
Air raid sirens blared through the night as smoke billowed across the city from strikes. Associated Press reporters heard powerful explosions near the city center and close to government buildings.
Attack highlights Ukraine’s air defense missile shortage
Zelenskyy said not all the ballistic missiles were intercepted and that most of the strikes hit Kyiv, which was the primary target of the attack.
The attack and the apparent interception failures underscored Ukraine’s chronic shortage of air defense missiles capable of downing ballistics. Kyiv relies heavily on U.S. Patriot air defense systems to intercept such weapons, but interceptor missiles remain in critically short supply and are among Ukraine’s most urgent requests to its Western partners.
Developing a domestically produced alternative has become a top priority for Ukraine’s Defense Ministry, though doing so will require significant time and funding.
By saturating Kyiv with large numbers of ballistic missiles on Sunday, Russia may also be seeking to deplete Ukraine’s limited stocks ahead of what could be an even more intense wave of attacks this summer.
Kyiv residents who have stayed until now consider relocating
Damage was recorded in 50 locations across several districts of the capital, including residential buildings, shopping centers and schools, Ukraine’s emergency service said in a Telegram post. Police department buildings were also damaged, it said.
Fires continued to rage into the morning, complicating rescue efforts as buildings collapsed from the blasts.
“It was a terrible night, and there had never been anything like it in the entire war,” said Kyiv resident Svitlana Onofryichuk, 55, who had worked in the market that was damaged for 22 years.
“I am very sorry that I have to say goodbye to Kyiv now, I am not staying there anymore, there is no possibility,” she added. “My job is gone, everything is gone, everything has burned down.”
Yevhen Zosin, 74, a Kyiv resident who witnessed the attack, said the moment he heard the explosion he rushed to grab his dog.
“Then there was another explosion and she and I were thrown back like a pin by the shock wave. We both survived, she and I. My apartment was blown to pieces,” he said.
In Kyiv’s Shevchenko district, a five-story residential building was hit, which caused a fire, and one person was killed, Ukraine’s state emergency service reported.
A school building was damaged by an attack while people sheltered inside, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said. Local authorities reported supermarkets and warehouses across the city also were damaged.
Multiple communities recorded damage throughout the Kyiv region, according to Mykola Kalashnyk, the regional governor.
Elsewhere, a Ukrainian drone killed a civilian in the Russian town of Grayvoron, in the Belgorod region bordering Ukraine, local authorities reported on Sunday morning.
Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces shot down or jammed 33 Ukrainian drones overnight into Sunday, including over the Moscow region, western and southwestern Russia, and Russian-occupied Crimea.
