Ukraine Strikes Deep Into Russia as Barrages Pound Ukrainian Cities

The cross-border strikes reflect a stalemate that recent Geneva talks failed to break.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s General Staff said domestically produced Flamingo missiles hit the Votkinsk Machine Building Plant in Udmurtia, with regional officials reporting 11 injured and flights halted at Izhevsk and nearby airports.
  • Kyiv also reported a strike on a gas processing facility in Russia’s Samara region, with Russian authorities offering no immediate confirmation of damage.
  • Russia launched a ballistic missile and roughly 120–128 drones overnight, and Ukraine said it downed 106–107; attacks injured civilians and damaged homes, a school, and energy sites in Odesa, Sumy, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson.
  • Authorities in Kyiv warned of incoming ballistic missiles early on Feb. 22, and multiple explosions were reported in the capital during extended air alerts.
  • Ukraine recorded 175 combat clashes in the past 24 hours with heavy fighting near Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka, as US‑mediated Geneva talks concluded without a breakthrough and with Russia’s demands for Donetsk concessions unresolved.
