Russia resumed missile strikes on Ukraine's capital, Kiiu, after three weeks.
It is analyzed that it was in line with the G7 summit of seven major countries, but Russia, which is subject to Western sanctions, has fallen into a state of 'debt default', unable to pay interest on foreign currency denominated government bonds.

Even the stairs collapsed, and rescuers rode cranes to the top of the smoky apartment to rescue residents.

The Russian military launched massive missile strikes last weekend in several places in Ukraine, including the capital Kiiu.
A total of 62 rounds were fired on Saturday alone in the western cities of Zitomir, Lviv and Rivne.
In the capital, Kiiu, where more than a dozen missiles were hit, one person was killed and at least five injured.
In particular, the missile attack on the city center of Kiiw took three weeks, just before the summit of seven major countries.

Meanwhile, Russia is paying 100 million dollars in interest on foreign currency denominated government bonds. , we have fallen into a default state of not being able to pay 130 billion won of our money, that is, default.
Russia's default is the first in 104 years, however, the general outlook is that it will have little impact on the global financial market because the interest payment channel is blocked by Western sanctions.
