Russian Drones Strike Kyiv Residential Building Hours After Ceasefire Ends
Ukraine said more than 200 drones damaged energy facilities, apartment buildings and a kindergarten, killing at least one person after the truce expired.
- On Tuesday, Russia and Ukraine resumed air attacks following the expiration of a 72-hour United States-brokered truce, with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reporting that Russia launched more than 200 drones overnight.
- President Donald Trump announced the truce on Friday, hoping it would mark 'the beginning of the end' of the four-year war, though the ceasefire overlapped with Russia's scaled-back Victory Day celebrations.

- Russian President Vladimir Putin recently suggested the war may be 'coming to an end,' but warned the 'arrogant' West against risking a global conflict, as US-backed negotiations remain largely sidelined by the crisis in the Middle East.
