Russia launched a massive drone attack on Ukraine, targeting around 20 regions and resulting in at least six deaths and numerous injuries, including children. The assault, which lasted for hours, struck major cities like Kyiv, Lviv, and Odesa. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that the attack aimed to overwhelm Ukraine’s air defenses and could be followed by missile strikes. Despite ongoing violence, there are claims from U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that the war might be nearing an end, though no evidence was provided. Diplomatic efforts have stalled, with Russia demanding Ukraine withdraw from regions it annexed. Zelenskyy emphasized the importance of global attention on the conflict to prevent further aggression from Russia.
