Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called for tougher sanctions on Russia after a deadly missile and drone attack on Kyiv killed at least 31 people, including five children. The youngest victim was just two years old. Over 150 others were injured. The strikes damaged homes, a hospital, a school, and a university. "Sanctions do work – and they must be strengthened," Zelensky said. He urged the U.S., Europe, and allies to act fast. U.S. and German officials signaled more support, with Germany promising two Patriot systems. Trump condemned Russia’s actions and hinted at new sanctions if a ceasefire isn't reached soon.
