Ukraine suffered its largest aerial assault since the war began, with 728 drones and 13 missiles hitting multiple cities, including Kyiv, Lviv, and Lutsk. The overnight attack followed Donald Trump’s vow to resume U.S. weapons supplies to Kyiv, reversing a suspension he claimed he was unaware of. Trump criticised Vladimir Putin, saying, "He just wants to keep killing people." The Kremlin downplayed his remarks, calling Trump's tone “harsh.” Ukrainian President Zelensky condemned the strikes, accusing Russia of rejecting peace efforts. The city of Lutsk, near the Polish border, was heavily targeted. Talks of a ceasefire remain stalled amid ongoing Russian offensives. (PC: BBC)
