Kyiv pushes back on Trump's call for new president as drones hit Russian data hub

Kyiv rejects Trump's call for a new Ukrainian president amid ongoing drone attacks. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that Russia is solely responsible for the war in Ukraine. He proposed halting strikes on Russian oil refineries if Moscow stopped its attacks on Ukraine's energy grid. U.S. President Donald Trump criticized Zelenskyy, suggesting the country needed a new leader to end the conflict, while blaming him for high diesel prices in the U.S. Zelenskyy dismissed Trump's remarks, emphasizing that Ukraine's leadership enjoys the support of its people.

Meanwhile, a drone attack in Russia's Vladimir city shut down a major Yandex data center, affecting services in multiple Russian cities and neighboring countries. This marks the third such strike on Yandex facilities in four days.
