Европын удирдагчид Украины Днипро хотод энгийн иргэдийг онилсон халдлагыг эрс зэмлэн буруушааж, ОХУ-д үзүүлэх шахалтыг нэмэгдүүлэхийг уриалав.
Пүрэв гарагт ОХУ-ын дрон Днипро хотын төмөр замын хөл хөдөлгөөн ихтэй тавцан дээр унасны улмаас 14 хүн амиа алдаж, дахин 14 хүн гэмтжээ. Мөн тус хотын оюутны дотуур байранд хийсэн халдлагаас үүдэн 350 мянган өрх цахилгаангүй болж, гал түймэр дэгдсэнийг бүсийн захирагч Александр Ганжа мэдээлсэн байна. Үүний зэрэгцээ ОХУ-ын зэвсэгт хүчин Киевийн агуулахын байгууламжууд руу баллистик пуужингаар цохилт өгчээ.
Украины Ерөнхийлөгч Володимир Зеленский ОХУ дахин баллистик пуужингаар халдлага үйлдэхээр бэлтгэж байгаа талаарх тагнуулын мэдээлэл байгааг анхааруулав. Тэрээр ОХУ-ын түрэмгийлэл үргэлжилж буй энэ үед Москвагийн эсрэг авсан хориг арга хэмжээг сулруулахгүй байхыг олон улсын хамтын нийгэмлэгт уриаллаа. Европын холбооны зөвлөлийн ерөнхийлөгч Антонио Коста энэхүү халдлагыг “харгис бөгөөд сүйрлийн” хэмээн тодорхойлж, шударга бөгөөд тогтвортой энх тайвныг тогтоохын тулд ОХУ-д үзүүлэх шахалтыг үргэлжлүүлнэ гэдгээ илэрхийлэв.
Олешки хотод талууд хэврэг гал зогсоох дэглэмийг гурав дахь өдрөө баримталж байгаа ч Украины бусад хэсэгт болсон халдлагаар 20 гаруй хүн амиа алдаж, 70 гаруй хүн шархаджээ. Үүний зэрэгцээ “Wall Street Journal”-д мэдээлснээр, АНУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Дональд Трампын шахалтаар Украины цэргийнхэн ОХУ-ын газрын тос боловсруулах үйлдвэрүүд рүү хийх цохилтоо түр зогсоосон байна. Энэхүү албан бус түр зогсолт нь АНУ-ын дунд хугацааны сонгуулийн дараа хүртэл үргэлжлэх төлөвтэй байгааг тус сонин онцолжээ.
Пүрэв гарагийн орой ОХУ-ын Ерөнхийлөгч Владимир Путин Европын орнуудтай харилцаагаа сэргээх аливаа алхмыг дэмжиж буйгаа илэрхийлэв. Тэрээр аливаа мөргөлдөөн нь ялагчгүй нөхцөл байдлыг үүсгэнэ гэж мэдэгдсэн хэдий ч “ОХУ-д стратегийн ялагдал хүлээлгэх” зорилго нь биелээгүй байгааг тэмдэглэжээ.

European leaders have reacted with outrage to a deadly attack by a Russian drone that slammed into a busy railway platform in the Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday, as Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned Ukraine had intelligence about more ballistic missile strikes to come. French President Emmanuel Macron stressed the need for “far more than a localised ceasefire”, referencing the current truce in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky. The EU council president, António Costa, who described the Dnipro attacks as “cruel and devastating”, called for greater pressure on Russia after the latest strikes against civilians. “The EU will continue to increase the pressure on Russia and to support Ukraine until a just and lasting peace is achieved,” he added. “We call on all our international partners to do the same.”
Later on Thursday, Russian forces launched an attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv with ballistic missiles, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram, hitting warehouses and triggering a fire. Emergency services were headed to the scene on the east side of the Dnipro River, he said.
Describing the Dnipro train station attack – which killed at least 14 people and injured another 14 – as “horrific”, the president of Ukraine insisted “sanctions against Moscow and its war machine must not be eased for as long as this Russian war continues”. Zelenskyy warned also that Ukraine had intelligence about preparations by the Russians of new ballistic missile strikes. “We need the means to take out all this Russian evil. We are expecting relevant decisions,” he said. Another attack on Dnipro hit a student dormitory, setting it ablaze, regional governor Oleksandr Hanzha said, adding the assaults had cut power to 350,000 households.
The strikes came as Ukraine and Russia kept to a fragile local ceasefire in the ravaged city of Oleshky – under Russian occupation since 2022 and where residents have faced months of food, water and medicine shortages. While the truce held into a third day, strikes elsewhere in Ukraine killed at least 20 people and injured more than 70 people, according to local officials. Russia and Ukraine said on Thursday an operation to bring aid into the town and allow residents to leave was ready to begin.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s military has paused its strikes on Russian oil refineries after pressure from US President Donald Trump, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal on Thursday, citing people with knowledge of the operations. Ukrainian units carrying out long-range strikes were told in mid-October that the campaign against refineries was effectively on hold once missions already in motion were completed, the Journal reported. The unofficial pause is expected to last until after the US midterm elections and potentially deeper into November, the newspaper said.
After the Dnipro attack, Zelenskyy renewed his criticism of a deal struck between Trump and Russia’s President Vladimir Putin to ease some US sanctions on Russia allowing Moscow to release diesel on to global markets. “How many such terrorist strikes has Russia carried out against our people since sanctions were lifted on some Russian oligarchs and the energy sector, instead of de-escalating?” he asked.
Late on Thursday, Putin said he supported any steps aimed at restoring relations with European countries, saying the outbreak of any conflict would leave a situation with no winners. Commenting on his phone call this week with the leaders of Norway and Finland, Putin told reporters after hosting a summit with African leaders: “And if anyone wants it, let them prepare, but right now they have not achieved their goal – to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia. And if things go too far, there will be no winners at all. .”
