Shocking clips have shown the harrowing aftermath of Russian attacks on Ukrainian civilians, just hours before Donald Trump’s phone call with Vladimir Putin.
A woman pensioner, 75, was killed in Russian shelling on her house in Kherson region, amid strong signs the Kremlin intends to continue its war in the face of the US president’s bid to stop the relentless killing. A man, 76, and two women, both 53, were also wounded in the night attacks.
In Stary Saltiv, Kharkiv region, terrified women aged 75 and 55 suffered “acute shock” and a man, 55, was wounded by explosions from Russian overnight terror strikes on a residential building and warehouses.
Ukraine was battered by drone strikes from Putin’s forces with explosions also felt in Sumy, Poltava, Chernihiv, Kyiv, Donetsk, Kirovograd, Cherkasy, Nikolaev, and Dnepropetrovsk regions.
