Event Summary

Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killing at least one person and wounding 27, causing significant damage to residential and energy infrastructure. This attack occurred a day before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was scheduled to meet with US President Donald Trump in Florida to discuss peace efforts, security guarantees, and territorial issues in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. Russia's President Vladimir Putin was shown receiving military reports and stated that Russia would achieve its goals by military means if peace talks fail. Canada announced $1.8 billion in economic assistance to Ukraine, which will help unlock financing from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group. Poland also scrambled fighter jets and closed airports near its border during the attacks. The attacks caused extensive power outages in Kyiv, as reported by DTEK.
