Russia is laughing at Trump’s deadline by hammering Kyiv with over 300 drones and missiles, killing 31 people.

The Russian Federation attacked Kyiv with a barrage of drones and missiles overnight in defiance of US President Donald Trump’s calls for the Kremlin to reach a truce with Ukraine. Russia fired 309 Shahed and decoy drones and eight Iskander-K cruise missiles overnight, killing 31 and injuring over 150 people.

Ukrainian air defenses intercepted and jammed 288 strike drones and three missiles. Five missiles and 21 drones struck targets. The attack hit at least 27 locations across Kyiv, with the heaviest damage seen in the Solomianskyi and Sviatoshynskyi districts. More than 100 buildings were damaged in Kyiv, including homes, schools, kindergartens, medical facilities, and universities, government officials said.

As a result of the attack, a large part of a nine-story residential building collapsed. Rescue teams searched for people trapped under the rubble. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said, “Today the world has once again seen Russia’s response to our desire for peace… Therefore, peace without strength is impossible,” Zelenskyy posted on Telegram.
