Ukraine's Zelenskyy accuses Russia of 'cynical' strikes ahead of Trump talks
- On the morning of August 18, 2025, a drone strike by Russian forces targeted a five-story residential building in Kharkiv, resulting in the deaths of five individuals and causing injuries to more than twelve others.
- The attack occurred just before dawn amid ongoing conflict following Russia's 2014 annexation of Crimea, as Ukraine and Western allies prepared peace talks in Washington.
- The strike destroyed a section of the apartment block, ignited fires across three floors, injured at least 18 people—including children experiencing acute shock—and caused damage to 19 residential buildings and 25 vehicles throughout Kharkiv.
- Kharkiv Mayor Igor Terekhov and Governor Oleg Synegubov confirmed five deaths, noted some residents remain unaccounted for possibly trapped under rubble, and reported a nearby city was hit earlier by a ballistic missile wounding 11 people.
- The attack coincided with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's arrival in Washington for war-ending talks, while Russia proposed Ukraine withdraw from Donbas in exchange for freezing other frontlines and U.S. limited Ukraine’s claims on Crimea and NATO membership.
