Russian Strikes Kill Dozens in Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict and US Talks

Russian Strikes Kill Dozens in Ukraine Amid Ongoing Conflict and US TalksPreviousNext

Russian strikes across Ukraine have killed dozens, including 30 in a bus attack in Kramatorsk and 22 in a missile strike on a residential building in Pryluky. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy condemned the attacks as deliberate targeting of civilians and urged increased defense support, including expanded access to Starlink satellite services. Ukrainian negotiators are set to hold talks in the US with hopes of European participation. The conflict remains deadlocked amid escalating attacks as winter approaches, raising concerns over civilian safety and infrastructure damage.
