Russian missiles and drones hammered Kyiv in an overnight attack, the largest aerial assault on the Ukrainian capital since the war began more than three years ago.
The attack came shortly after President Trump held an hour-long phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin, a conversation Trump said made no progress towards ending the conflict. Shortly after the bombardment, Trump spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who called it a “very important and useful conversation”.
