Ukraine-Russia War, today's news. Massive Russian attack in the heart of Ukraine: downtown Kharkiv hit, causing casualties. Drones hit Odessa.

After the Alaska summit failed to secure a ceasefire, and just hours before Trump and Zelensky's meeting at the White House, Moscow's heavy attack in the heart of Ukraine continues: Russian missiles have hit homes in downtown Kharkiv, injuring children, and causing casualties. Odessa has also been hit on multiple fronts. And the summit promises to be tense: before the meeting, the American president placed the blame squarely on Zelensky. "He can't get Crimea back, and he can't join NATO; certain things don't change. And he can end the war immediately."
Trump: Kiev cannot regain Crimea or join NATO
"Ukrainian President Zelensky can end the war with Russia almost immediately if he wishes, or he can continue to fight," Donald Trump wrote in Truth , a few hours after meeting with the leaders of Kiev and the European Union. "Remember how it all started. You can't get back the Crimea Obama gave you (12 years ago, without a shot being fired!), and you can't get Ukraine to join NATO. Some things never change!"
Trump, Zelensky, and EU leaders meet at the White House today as Moscow attacks Ukraine.
Zelensky will be at the White House today with Trump to discuss the peace plan after the Anchorage Summit, along with many European leaders: European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Prime Ministers Meloni, Macron, Merz, Starmer , and Finland's Alexander Stubb . NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte will also be there, alongside the Ukrainian president, who, despite opposing the transfer of territory, will fly to Washington , ready to negotiate. The Pope also prayed for "successful efforts to end wars and promote peace, so that the common good of peoples always comes first in negotiations." Between the two summits, Moscow's massive attack in the heart of Ukraine hit Kharkiv, Odessa, and Sumy.

Moscow also attacks Odessa from several fronts
Russian forces are "massively attacking the city of Odessa with Shahed attack drones from multiple sides simultaneously," according to the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Odessa Mayor Gennady Trukhanov, and Odessa OVA Chief Oleg Kiper.
"Russian missile hits apartment building in Kharkiv, causing casualties."
