Russian President Vladimir Putin is increasingly showing signs of ignoring President Trump’s entreaties to work toward an end to the Ukraine war, something Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had long warned.

Russia overnight launched one of the largest missile and drone attacks on Ukraine yet, killing at least a dozen people and injuring scores more.

Zelensky in posts on social media said nearly 300 attack drones had been launched by Russia overnight, as well as 70 million of various types, including ballistic missiles.

Kyiv was attacked as part of the onslaught, along with 11 other regions, Zelensky said.

“These were deliberate strikes on ordinary cities. Ordinary residential buildings were destroyed and damaged. In Kyiv, dormitories of the university's history department were hit,” he said. “There were also strikes on enterprises. Tragically, people were killed, including children.”
