In a bold move, Russia targeted a U.S.-founded electronics manufacturer located near Ukraine's EU border in an intensified air assault on Thursday. The attack coincided with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's appeals for U.S. assistance in facilitating talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The large-scale offensive involved 574 drones and 40 missiles, marking one of the most severe assaults since Russia's full-scale invasion began, now stretching into its fourth year. Tragically, one person was killed, while 22 others sustained injuries, primarily impacting the electronics company's local storage facilities, according to authorities.

Zelenskiy condemned the attack as an assault on a civilian enterprise, supported by American investments and producing everyday items. The incident spotlights the escalating tensions and the urgency for diplomatic resolutions to bring the prolonged conflict to a close.
