Russia bombards Ukraine with drones hours after Trump announces talks with Putin

Russia bombards Ukraine with drones hours after Trump announces talks with Putin

Russia targeted Ukraine with its largest single drone attack yet just hours ahead of President Donald Trump’s phone call with Vladimir Putin about ending the war. 

Russia on Sunday fired a total of 273 exploding drones and decoys targeting Ukraine’s Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions, according to Ukraine’s air force. Of those, 88 were intercepted and 128 lost, likely being electronically jammed.  

The barrage was the biggest drone attack since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022, Yuriy Ihnat, head of the air force’s communications department, told the Associated Press. 

It came after Trump said he would be ‘speaking, by telephone, to President Vladimir Putin of Russia on Monday, at 10:00 a.m.’ regarding the war in Ukraine. 

‘The subjects of the call will be, stopping the ‘bloodbath’ that is killing, on average, more than 5,000 Russian and Ukrainian soldiers a week, and trade,’ Trump wrote on Truth Social on Saturday. ‘I will then be speaking to President Zelenskyy of Ukraine and then, with President Zelenskyy, various members of NATO.’ 

‘Hopefully it will be a productive day, a ceasefire will take place, and this very violent war, a war that should have never happened, will end,’ Trump added. ‘God bless us all!!!’ 

The previous largest known single drone attack from Russia against Ukraine was on the eve of the war’s third anniversary, when Russia pounded Ukraine with 267 drones. 

Kyiv regional Gov. Mykola Kalashnyk said a 28-year-old woman was killed in Sunday’s drone attack, and three other people, including a 4-year-old child, were wounded, the AP reported. 

Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio also met with Zelenskyy in Rome Sunday for ongoing peace talks. 

‘During our talks we discussed negotiations in Istanbul to where the Russians sent a low-level delegation of non-decision-makers. I reaffirmed that Ukraine is ready to be engaged in real diplomacy and underscored the importance of a full and unconditional ceasefire as soon as possible,’ Zelenskyy shared on X regarding the meeting.  

‘We have also touched upon the need for sanctions against Russia, bilateral trade, defense cooperation, battlefield situation and upcoming prisoners exchange. Pressure is needed against Russia until they are eager to stop the war. And, of course, we talked about our joint steps to achieve a just and durable peace,’ he continued.  

World leaders converged in Rome this weekend for Pope Leo XIV’s inaugural mass at the Vatican on Sunday, with Vance leading the U.S. delegation. Zelenskyy also attended the mass.
