In an unexpected turn of events,U.S. President Donald Trump issued a strong warning, saying ‘Vladimir, STOP!’ in response to a devastating Russian attack on Kyiv. This strike, one of the deadliest in recent months, has shattered parts of Ukraine’s capital, killing at least 12 and injuring scores more.
Russian military drones and ballistic missiles rained down on Kyiv, marking an ominous escalation in the ongoing conflict.
According to the Kyiv City Military Administration, around 70 missiles and 150 attack drones were launched during the night, leaving parts of the city in ruins. Former President Trump took to social media to express his discontent with the timing and the necessity of such aggression, urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to cease military actions and emphasizing, ‘5000 soldiers a week are dying. Let’s get the Peace Deal DONE!’ Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who was on a diplomatic mission in South Africa, announced an early return to address the crisis. In parallel, discussions around a potential peace deal were reportedly pressured by the White House, suggesting Ukraine might have to concede territory to Russia. However, the heavy bombardment has cast shadows on these peace discussions, complicating the geopolitical landscape further.
