Russia Launches Large-Scale Drone and Missile Strikes Across Ukraine Amid Trump-Putin Summit Delay

Russia launched a massive overnight drone and missile attack on Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure and residential areas, resulting in six deaths including two children and multiple injuries. Ukrainian forces reported intercepting many of the incoming drones and missiles, while also conducting strikes on several Russian facilities. The attacks caused widespread power outages across Ukraine, including in Kyiv and its surrounding regions. These hostilities coincided with the suspension of a planned summit between President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with the White House confirming no imminent meeting. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized Russia for prolonging the conflict despite international pressure, while continuing to seek global support. The violence underscores the ongoing tensions and diplomatic challenges amid the war that began in February 2022.
