Russia Launches Overnight Strikes on Ukraine as Zelensky Prepares to Meet Trump

In a continued escalation of tensions, Russia launched overnight strikes on Ukraine, resulting in the deaths of at least two people. The strikes, which took place in the early hours of the morning, mark the latest in a series of attacks between the two nations. The conflict has been ongoing for months, with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky seeking international support to counter Russia's military actions.

In a retaliatory move, Ukrainian forces targeted sites in Russia with drone attacks just hours before a scheduled meeting between US President Donald Trump and President Zelensky at a NATO summit. The meeting is set to take place amidst heightened tensions between Russia and the West, and is expected to focus on the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The drone attacks on Russian sites are a clear indication of Ukraine's determination to defend itself against Russian aggression.

The NATO summit, which brings together leaders from across the Western alliance, is a crucial opportunity for the international community to address the ongoing crisis in Ukraine. The meeting between President Trump and President Zelensky is expected to be a key moment in the summit, with both leaders likely to discuss the need for increased support and cooperation in the face of Russian aggression.
