A series of Russian attacks in Dnipro, Ukraine on Friday, April 19, 2024, resulted in damaged buildings and injured individuals requiring rescue and medical attention by the Ukrainian Emergency Service.
During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Russian Armed Forces have launched several missile attacks over the city of Dnipro in Ukraine. These have led to dozens of fatalities and over a hundred injuries among the civilian population.
Russian missiles strike Ukrainian cities of Kharkiv, Kryvyi Rih, and Vinnytsia, as well as Ukraines largest dam, the DniproHES in Zaporizhzhia, with no immediate casualties reported. Belgorod in Russia also hit, with one woman killed and many wounded in a Ukrainian attack.
Two Russian strikes in Ukraine's central Dnipropetrovsk region killed nine people, including three children. The attacks hit a station in Dnipro and homes in Synelnykove. President Zelensky highlighted the need for cities to have air defences. Ukraine downed a Russian bomber, and six Kh-22 missiles were fired by Russia. Nato calls for military aid as Ukraine runs low on anti-missile weapons. A bomber crashed in Russian territory, with two pilots found alive and one crew member killed.
Russian shelling killed two people in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region on Thursday, authorities said, as Moscow ramps up its assault to capture the war-battered region. Outgunned and outmanned on the battlefield, Kyiv has ceded ground to Russian forces since late last year, evacuating hundreds of civilians from frontline areas amid an uptick in bombardment. In Selydove, 20 kilometers from the front, a Russian attack early in the morning killed a woman, while shelling killed a man in the frontline town of Ocheretyne, officials said. "The Russians fired 17 times at settlements in the Donetsk region over a day. 127 people were evacuated from the frontline, including 13 children," regional head Vadim Filashkin said in a post on Telegram.
Dnipro, formerly Dnipropetrovsk (1926–2016), is Ukraine's fourth-largest city, with about one million inhabitants. It is located in the eastern part of Ukraine, 391 km (243 mi) southeast of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on the Dnipro River, after which its name is derived. Dnipro is the administrative centre of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. It hosts the administration of Dnipro urban hromada. Dnipro has a population of 968,502 (2022 estimate).Archeological evidence suggests the site of the present city was settled by Cossack communities from at least 1524. Yekaterinoslav ("glory of Catherine") was established by decree of the Russian Empress Catherine the Great in 1787 as the administrative center of Novorossiya. From the end of the 19th century, the town attracted foreign capital and an international, multi-ethnic workforce exploiting Kryvbas iron ore and Donbas coal.Renamed Dnipropetrovsk in 1926 after the Ukrainian Communist Party leader Grigory Petrovsky, it became a focus for the Stalinist commitment to the rapid development of heavy industry. After World War II, this included nuclear, arms, and space industries whose strategic importance led to Dnipropetrovsk's designation as a closed city.Following the Euromaidan events of 2014, the city politically shifted away from pro-Russian parties and figures towards those favoring closer ties with the European Union. As a result of decommunization, the city was renamed Dnipro in 2016. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Dnipro rapidly developed as a logistical hub for humanitarian aid and a reception point for people fleeing the various battle fronts.
On 24 February 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine in an escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War that started in 2014. The invasion became the largest attack on a European country since World War II. It is estimated to have caused tens of thousands of Ukrainian civilian casualties and hundreds of thousands of military casualties. By June 2022, Russian troops occupied about 20% of Ukrainian territory. From a population of 41 million in January 2022, about 8 million Ukrainians had been internally displaced and more than 8.2 million had fled the country by April 2023, creating Europe's largest refugee crisis since World War II. Extensive environmental damage caused by the war, widely described as an ecocide, contributed to food crises worldwide.Before the invasion, Russian troops massed near Ukraine's borders as Russian officials denied any plans to attack. Russian president Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" to support the Russian-backed breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, whose paramilitary forces had been fighting Ukraine in the Donbas conflict since 2014. Putin espoused irredentist views challenging Ukraine's right to exist, and falsely claimed that Ukraine was governed by neo-Nazis persecuting the Russian minority. He said his goal was to "demilitarize and denazify" Ukraine. Russian air strikes and a ground invasion were launched at a northern front from Belarus towards Kyiv, a southern front from Crimea, and an eastern front from the Donbas and towards Kharkiv. Ukraine enacted martial law, ordered a general mobilization and severed diplomatic relations with Russia.Russian troops retreated from the northern front by April 2022 after encountering logistical challenges and stiff Ukrainian resistance. On the southern and southeastern fronts, Russia captured Kherson in March and Mariupol in May after a destructive siege. Russia launched a renewed offensive in the Donbas and continued to bomb military and civilian targets far from the front line, including the energy grid through the winter. In late 2022, Ukraine launched successful counteroffensives in the south and east. Soon after, Russia announced the illegal annexation of four partly occupied regions. In November, Ukraine retook parts of Kherson Oblast, including the city of Kherson itself. In June 2023, Ukraine launched another counteroffensive in the southeast.The invasion was met with international condemnation. The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution condemning the invasion and demanding a full Russian withdrawal in March 2022. The International Court of Justice ordered Russia to suspend military operations and the Council of Europe expelled Russia. Many countries imposed sanctions on Russia and its ally Belarus, and provided humanitarian and military aid to Ukraine. The Baltic states all declared Russia a terrorist state. Protests occurred around the world, along with mass arrests of anti-war protesters in Russia, which also enacted a law enabling greater media censorship. Over 1,000 companies closed their operations in Russia and Belarus as a result of the invasion. The International Criminal Court (ICC) opened investigations into possible crimes against humanity, war crimes, abduction of children, and genocide. The court issued an arrest warrant for Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova in March 2023, alleging responsibility for the unlawful deportation of children.
After Russia's military success in capturing the city of Avdiivka, President Vladimir Putin mocked Ukraine's retreat and declared plans to advance Russian troops deeper into the country. The capture of Avdiivka marked a significant victory for Russia, with Ukrainian military chief choosing to avoid encirclement to protect soldiers' lives. Russian forces also reclaimed the town of Krynky on the Moscow-occupied side of the Dnipro river. Avdiivka, previously home to 32,000 residents, fell under Russian control, fuelling Putin's determination to continue the military campaign in Ukraine.
Russia's invasion has dragged on for more than two years (File) Russian shelling and strikes on Ukraine's Kherson region killed one person and wounded several, with at least two civilians also killed in attacks on the centre and east of the country, Kyiv said Saturday. Russia's invasion has dragged on for more than two years, with fierce fighting in the east and regular attacks away from the frontline. Kyiv's interior ministry said Russian shelling killed a 58-year-old woman in the southern village of Olhivka on the Dnipro river. Officials also said a Russian air bomb fell near a residential building in the city of Kherson, wounding a child. "Last night, the Russian army struck the city with a bomb.
Ukraine's dwindling supply of air defence missiles enabled Russia to devastate its energy infrastructure with increasing effectiveness, while US congressional Republicans consider approving $60bn in aid for Ukraine. Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba urgently requests long-range Patriot air defence batteries from European NATO allies and criticizes NATO for not providing necessary support. A Russian bombardment destroyed the Trypilska thermal power station in Kyiv. Germany agrees to transfer one battery and explore transferring a short-range IRIS-T missile battery to Ukraine.
This timeline of the Russian invasion of Ukraine covers the period from 1 December 2023 to the present day.
As the war in Ukraine enters its third year, Russian troops are increasing pressure on Ukrainian forces, utilizing satellite-guided gliding bombs to weaken them. Despite having superior firepower, Russia may opt for smaller attacks rather than a massive ground offensive to gradually deplete Ukrainian forces. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy instructed defensive preparations, including trenches and fortifications, but slow construction progress has left areas vulnerable. Analysts suggest a continuous series of localized offensives may be Russia's strategic approach to gain terrain. Last year's Ukrainian counteroffensive failed due to entrapment in Russian minefields.
Ukraine announced that it destroyed the majority of the 45 attack drones launched by Russia overnight, with minimal damage reported. Falling debris from the drones wounded one person and caused a fire in the southern region of Dnipro. A 56-year-old woman was also killed in a separate drone strike in the Kharkiv region. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is reshuffling his war cabinet as the conflict enters its third year, appointing new commanders for the ground forces, combined forces, air assault forces, and territorial defense forces. The Ukrainian military aims to improve troop rotation and utilize new technology.
Journalist Anna Husarska reports on the tense atmosphere in Kharkiv, Ukraine, where discussions of a wider Middle East war coincide with the sound of air-raid sirens. The possibility of Israel-Iran conflicts impacting Ukraine's security is a concern, with speculations on potential outcomes and U.S. military aid. Ukrainians feel betrayed by the lack of promised aid, as they face challenges near the Russian border, resorting to defensive tactics without ample resources.
Dnipro is a city in Ukraine.Dnipro is also an alternate name for the river Dnieper.Dnipro may also refer to:
The Dnieper (), also called Dnipro () or Dniapro, is one of the major transboundary rivers of Europe, rising in the Valdai Hills near Smolensk, Russia, before flowing through Belarus and Ukraine to the Black Sea. Approximately 2,200 km (1,400 mi) long, with a drainage basin of 504,000 square kilometres (195,000 sq mi), it is the longest river of Ukraine and Belarus and the fourth-longest river in Europe, after the Volga, Danube, and Ural rivers.In antiquity, the river was part of the Amber Road trade routes. During the Ruin in the later 17th century, the area was contested between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth and Russia, dividing what is now Ukraine into areas described by its right and left banks. During the Soviet period, the river became noted for its major hydroelectric dams and large reservoirs. The 1986 Chernobyl disaster occurred on the Pripyat River, a tributary of the Dnieper, just upstream from its confluence with the Dnieper. The Dnieper is an important navigable waterway for the economy of Ukraine and is connected by the Dnieper–Bug Canal to other waterways in Europe. During the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, certain segments of the river are part of the defensive lines between territory controlled by Russians and Ukrainians.
The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing international conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February 2014. Following Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine and supported pro-Russian separatists fighting the Ukrainian military in the Donbas war. The first eight years of conflict also included naval incidents, cyberwarfare, and heightened political tensions. In February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine and began occupying more of the country.In early 2014, the Euromaidan protests led to the Revolution of Dignity and the ousting of Ukraine's pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych. Shortly after, pro-Russian unrest erupted in eastern and southern Ukraine, while unmarked Russian troops occupied Crimea. Russia soon annexed Crimea after a highly disputed referendum. In April 2014, Russian-backed militants seized towns in Ukraine's eastern Donbas region and proclaimed the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) and the Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) as independent states, starting the Donbas war. The separatists received considerable but covert support from Russia, and Ukrainian attempts to fully retake separatist-held areas failed. Although Russia denied involvement, Russian troops took part in the fighting. In February 2015, Russia and Ukraine signed the Minsk II agreements to end the conflict, but they were never fully implemented in the years that followed. The Donbas war settled into a violent but static conflict between Ukraine and the Russian and separatist forces, with many brief ceasefires but no lasting peace and few changes in territorial control.Beginning in 2021, Russia built up a large military presence near its border with Ukraine, including within neighbouring Belarus. Russian officials repeatedly denied plans to attack Ukraine. Russian president Vladimir Putin expressed irredentist views and denied Ukraine's right to exist. He criticized the enlargement of NATO and demanded that Ukraine be barred from ever joining the military alliance. Russia recognized the DPR and LPR as independent states. On 24 February 2022, Putin announced a "special military operation" to "demilitarize and denazify" Ukraine, claiming Russia had no plans to occupy the country. The Russian invasion that followed was internationally condemned; many countries imposed sanctions against Russia and increased existing sanctions. In the face of fierce resistance, Russia abandoned an attempt to take Kyiv in early April. From August, Ukrainian forces began recapturing territories in the north-east and south. In late September, Russia declared the annexation of four partially-occupied regions, which was internationally condemned. Russia spent the winter conducting inconclusive offensives in the Donbas. In spring 2023, Russia dug into positions ahead of another Ukrainian counteroffensive, which failed to gain significant ground. The war has resulted in a refugee crisis and tens of thousands of deaths.

The State Emergency Service of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Державна служба України з надзвичайних ситуацій, romanized: Derzhavna sluzhba Ukrainy z nadzvychainykh sytuatsii), until December 24, 2012 named the Ministry of Emergencies of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Міністерство надзвичайних ситуацій України, romanized: Ministerstvo nadzvychainykh sytuatsii Ukrainy) is the main executive body tasked with carrying out state policy in the spheres of civil defence, rescue, creating and managing the system of insurance fund documentation, utilization of radioactive wastes, protection of population and territory in emergency situations, emergency prevention and response, liquidation in the aftermath, and the Chernobyl catastrophe. They represent Ukraine's sole fire & rescue service. It is abbreviated as ДСНС [України]. It also directly administers the zone of alienation located just north of Kyiv.Under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the agency's motto is "To prevent. To rescue. To help." (Ukrainian: Запобігти. Врятувати. Допомогти)
Ukraine ( yoo-KRAYN; Ukrainian: Україна, romanized: Ukraina, pronounced [ʊkrɐˈjinɐ] ) is a country in Eastern Europe. It is the second-largest European country after Russia, which borders it to the east and northeast. It also borders Belarus to the north; Poland, Slovakia, and Hungary to the west; and Romania and Moldova to the southwest; with a coastline along the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov to the south and southeast. Kyiv is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Kharkiv, Dnipro and Odesa. Ukraine's official language is Ukrainian; Russian is also widely spoken, especially in the east and south.During the Middle Ages, Ukraine was the site of early Slavic expansion and the area later became a key centre of East Slavic culture under the state of Kievan Rus', which emerged in the 9th century. The state eventually disintegrated into rival regional powers and was ultimately destroyed by the Mongol invasions of the 13th century. The area was then contested, divided, and ruled by a variety of external powers for the next 600 years, including the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Austrian Empire, the Ottoman Empire, and the Tsardom of Russia. The Cossack Hetmanate emerged in central Ukraine in the 17th century marked on maps as "Ukraine, land of the Cossacks", but was partitioned between Russia and Poland, and ultimately absorbed by the Russian Empire. Ukrainian nationalism developed and, following the Russian Revolution in 1917, the short-lived Ukrainian People's Republic was formed. The Bolsheviks consolidated control over much of the former empire and established the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, which became a constituent republic of the Soviet Union when it was formed in 1922. In the early 1930s, millions of Ukrainians died in the Holodomor, a human-made famine. The German occupation during World War II in Ukraine was devastating: 7 million Ukrainian civilians were killed, including most Ukrainian Jews.Ukraine gained independence in 1991 as the Soviet Union dissolved, and declared itself neutral. A new constitution was adopted in 1996. A series of mass demonstrations, known as the Euromaidan, led to the establishment of a new government in 2014 after a revolution. Russia then unilaterally annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula, and pro-Russian unrest culminated in a war in the Donbas between Russian-backed separatists and government forces in eastern Ukraine. Since the outbreak of war with Russia, Ukraine has continued to seek closer ties with the United States, European Union, and NATO. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.Ukraine is a unitary state and its system of government is a semi-presidential republic. A developing country, it is the poorest country in Europe by nominal GDP per capita and corruption remains a significant issue. However, due to its extensive fertile land, pre-war Ukraine was one of the largest grain exporters in the world. It is a founding member of the United Nations, as well as a member of the Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization, and the OSCE. It is in the process of joining the European Union and has applied to join NATO.
CIA Director William Burns stated that without additional US military assistance, Ukraine could face significant setbacks and potentially lose the war with Russia by the end of 2024. Burns emphasized the urgent need for Congress to approve billions in aid to prevent a scenario where Putin could dictate terms of a settlement. Ukrainian forces are running out of ammunition, with Burns highlighting the critical need for supplemental aid to prevent further losses like the fall of Avdiivka. The House is expected to vote on a $60.8 billion aid package for Ukraine to bolster their capabilities and defy Putin's ambitions.
The European Unions top diplomat is urging the Group of Seven to take quick and concrete steps to provide more air defense systems to Ukraine CAPRI, Italy -- The European Unions top diplomat urged Group of Seven foreign ministers on Thursday to take quick, concrete steps to provide more air defense systems to Ukraine , warning that continued delays could tilt the war in Moscows favor. Without more Patriot air defense missile systems to guard against incoming Russian strikes, the electricity system of Ukraine will be destroyed. And no country can fight without having electricity at home, in the factories, in the front line, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned. He was speaking on the sidelines of a G7 foreign ministers meeting on the Italian resort island of Capri, where Russias war in Ukraine and surging tensions in the Middle East over Irans unprecedented attack on Israel were topping the agenda.

Following German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck's visit to Kiev, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has thanked Germany for its continued support for his country. "We appreciate Germany's leadership role, which helps not only us in Ukraine to protect lives, but all of Europe itself - to preserve the very Europe that knows how to live peacefully, knows the law and knows how to take care of people," Zelensky said in his daily video address on Thursday. He announced that the conference on the reconstruction of Ukraine planned for June in Berlin would primarily focus on bilateral projects in the defence and energy sectors. The Ukrainian president said that he had discussed the situation on the front, and the need for air defence in particular, with Habeck. In a separate post on Telegram, Zelensky also praised the German government's decision to deploy another Patriot air-defence system to Ukraine.
House lawmakers passed a $95 billion foreign aid package to counter Russian, Iranian, and Chinese aggression, with a focus on providing military assistance and humanitarian aid to Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan. The bill allocates $61 billion for Ukraine's war effort, $13 billion for Israel's military assistance, and $8 billion for Taiwan to counter China. The legislation also includes provisions for selling Russian assets to finance Ukraine's reconstruction and a measure to force TikTok to divest from its Chinese parent company or face a ban in the US.
