Kyiv hit by drone strikes as Putin rejects Trump's truce bid

Kyiv experienced a heavy night of drone and missile strikes from Russia, with reports indicating 550 drones and 11 missiles launched. This attack followed a call between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, where Trump expressed disappointment over Putin's unwillingness to cease hostilities. At least one woman was killed in Russia due to Ukrainian drone strikes.

Ukraine's air force described the strikes as some of the worst, with alerts lasting more than eight hours. Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha condemned the attacks and argued for tougher sanctions against Moscow. Nearby, Ukrainian President Zelensky is concerned about U.S. arms supply halts affecting defense capabilities as tensions escalate.
