Ukrainian officials reported that Russian strikes killed six people, including two children, in Kyiv and surrounding areas, while also triggering widespread power outages across the country.

Trump described the idea of a summit as potentially a “waste of time” amid Moscow’s refusal to consider a ceasefire
