Heavy smoke covered central Kyiv as Russia executed its largest aerial strike against Ukraine, deploying 539 drones and 11 missiles. Ukrainian Air Force reported this strike targeted Kyiv specifically. Following a call between President Trump and President Putin, Ukrainian President Zelensky indicated the air raid alerts began sounding shortly after their conversation. Ukrainian forces used interceptor drones to destroy several Russian drones. Trump's opinion on the phone conversation was one of disappointment, suggesting Putin was unlikely to pursue a ceasefire. Ukrainian Foreign Minister termed the night as horrific and pressed for more sanctions.
The first air raid alerts in our cities and regions yesterday began to blare shortly after Trump spoke to Putin by telephone. It was a brutal, sleepless night.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha described it as an "absolutely horrible and sleepless night in Kyiv. One of the worst so far. Hundreds of Russian drones and ballistic missiles rained down on the Ukrainian capital."
Putin clearly shows his complete disregard for the United States and everyone who has called for an end to the war.
Trump expressed that he was "very disappointed" in his conversation with Putin, stating he did not think the Russian leader wanted a ceasefire.
