The attack came a day after President Donald Trump put his planned meeting with Russia's leader Vladimir Putin on hold, saying he didn’t want it to be a “waste of time.” The large-scale overnight aerial attack targeted Kyiv, the Ukrainian capital, and the wider Kyiv region, as well as other cities in the country, including Zaporizhzhia and the port city of Izmail in the southern Odesa region.

US prepares new sanctions as Russian drones and missiles kill 6 in Ukraine

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says the Trump administration is preparing a "substantial pickup in Russia sanctions." This comes as President Donald Trump meets NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte at the White House. Russian drones and missiles killed at least six people in Ukraine in strikes on Tuesday and Wednesday. U.S.-led efforts to end the war have floundered and Ukraine's president is seeking more foreign military help. The assault came in waves throughout the night and targeted at least eight Ukrainian cities, as well as a village in the Kyiv region.
