Ukraine Faces Major Attack Amid Trump's Criticism of Putin

Ukraine has been hit by the heaviest attack from Russia, with President Trump criticizing Putin. The strike followed Trump's decision to send more weapons to Kyiv, reversing a previous suspension. President Zelensky condemned the attack, highlighting Russia's refusal to engage in peace efforts. The aerial assault involved 728 drones and 13 missiles hitting cities across Ukraine.

Trump, in a press briefing, expressed frustration with Putin's actions, calling his gestures meaningless. Despite regular communication between Trump and Putin, progress towards a ceasefire has been limited. The US administration recently suspended military aid to Ukraine, a decision that has now been reversed to potentially send 10 Patriot missiles to help counter Russian attacks.

Trump also mentioned considering a sanctions bill that would impose tariffs on countries trading with Russia. While Trump has been vocal about sanctions, none have been imposed yet. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues, with no optimistic outlook for a diplomatic resolution.

Multiple Ukrainian cities, including Lutsk, Lviv, and Rivne, were targeted in the recent attacks. Russian authorities claimed a Ukrainian drone attack resulted in casualties on their side. Ceasefire talks earlier this year have not led to further meetings, and both sides remain skeptical about diplomatic solutions.
