Ukraine faced one of its largest attacks in weeks as Russian forces launched over 600 drones and missiles. One person was killed in Lviv, and 15 were injured in Transcarpathia, where a US electronics plant was damaged, BBC reported.
The strikes come as US President Donald Trump pushes diplomatic efforts to end the war. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy expressed readiness to meet Vladimir Putin in neutral Europe, citing Switzerland, Austria, or Istanbul, but dismissed Budapest due to Hungary’s ties with Moscow.
Ukraine said it intercepted most of the attacks and struck Russian military targets in Rostov and occupied Donetsk in retaliation. Officials warned more air defenses are needed as Russia intensifies bombardments while front lines remain largely stagnant, according to BBC.
