A recent Russian strike on a Ukraine town has resulted in the deaths of at least two people, according to Kyiv officials. This incident comes despite US President Donald Trump’s warning to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urging him to negotiate a peace deal to end the war. Trump had expressed frustration with Zelenskyy’s stance, suggesting that Ukraine’s refusal to accept US terms would prolong the conflict.
In a post on TruthSocial, Trump claimed that a deal to end the war was “very close,” but Zelenskyy’s refusal to accept US terms would do nothing but prolong the conflict. Trump also mentioned that nobody is asking Zelenskyy to recognize Crimea as Russian territory but questioned why Ukraine didn’t fight for it 11 years ago. The US President emphasized his desire to save thousands of Russian and Ukrainian soldiers’ lives, stating he wants to see the war end.
The Russian strike on Ukraine is a stark reminder of the ongoing conflict between the two nations. In a similar incident, a Russian missile strike on Kyiv killed at least nine people and injured 60 others, just hours after Trump’s comments. The attack was condemned by global leaders, and Zelenskyy urged a strong international response. Another attack in Sumy, Ukraine, reportedly killed 34 people and injured 117, marking one of the deadliest attacks this year.
