Russian Attack on Ukrainian City Kills 20, a Day After Trump Eases Diesel Sanctions on Moscow
The Ukrainian President offered some of his sharpest criticism of Donald Trump after this week's third mass-casualty Russian attack.
A Russian missile attack on the Ukrainian city of Zaporizhzhia killed twenty people, including three children, on the day after U.S. President Donald Trump announced a deal to lift sanctions on Russian diesel fuel. The attack came as Russian forces continue to intensify their bombardment of the city, which has been a frequent target in recent months.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky denounced the attack, accusing the White House of signaling that Russia can continue its attacks with impunity. The latest U.S. sanctions relief has come amid broader pressure on Moscow to negotiate an end to the four-and-a-half-year conflict. Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that immediate peace talks were unlikely, citing Ukrainian drone strikes on Moscow.
