In a devastating series of attacks, Russia has launched its second-biggest air assault on Kyiv, resulting in the deaths of at least 23 people, including children, and substantial damage to EU buildings. The strikes have prompted a wave of condemnation from European leaders, who demand an immediate halt to hostilities. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has called for increased pressure on President Putin for peace negotiations, while the White House expressed dissatisfaction with the Russian actions after a conversation between Trump and Zelenskyy. In the aftermath, Kyiv mourns its lost citizens while allies convene to discuss military support amidst escalating tensions and a deteriorating humanitarian situation.
