A devastating overnight aerial assault by Russia on Ukraine claimed at least 12 civilian lives, including three siblings in the Zhytomyr region. Deputy Foreign Minister Mariana Betsa identified the children as Stanislav (8), Tamara (12), and Roman (17). The strike, involving nearly 300 drones and 69 missiles, is among the largest since the war began. Ms. Betsa extended heartfelt condolences to the grieving family. The attack has triggered international outcry, with Donald Trump’s Ukraine envoy calling for a ceasefire "now." Ukrainian President Zelenskyy warned that global silence only emboldens Russia as the war continues to escalate.
