Ukraine reported Russia's largest drone strike since the invasion began, with 273 drones targeting Kyiv and eastern regions. One woman was killed and three others, including a child, were injured in the Kyiv suburb of Obukhiv. The attack preceded a scheduled call between US President Trump and Russian President Putin, amid renewed calls for a 30-day ceasefire. Ukraine intercepted 88 drones, while 128 caused no significant damage. Russia's move casts doubt on peace efforts following talks in Turkey. Ukraine’s President Zelensky expressed readiness for a ceasefire, but Moscow insists on halting military aid and Ukraine abandoning NATO ambitions. (PC: Reuters)
