Russian Strike Kills Five in Ukraine, Including Toddler, Hours After Trump-Putin Call
A Russian drone strike on the Ukrainian city of Pryluky killed at least five people, including a one-year-old child, his mother, and grandmother. The attack, one of many across several Ukrainian regions, followed a phone call between Presidents Trump and Putin, where Putin reportedly threatened retaliation for recent Ukrainian drone attacks on Russian military bases. This incident, along with continued attacks in Kharkiv and Kherson, highlights the ongoing war of attrition and the lack of progress in U.S.-led peace efforts. Ukraine continues to call for increased international sanctions and stronger air defense capabilities.
