Summary
Hours after Trump and Putin agreed to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, Russia launched drone and missile strikes on Ukraine, damaging homes and injuring civilians.
A hospital in Sumy was hit, forcing evacuations. Ukraine also struck a Russian oil depot. Putin rejected a full ceasefire, demanding an end to Western military aid to Ukraine.
Trump praised the call as “productive,” while Zelenskyy awaited U.S. clarification before responding.
Talks on a broader ceasefire will begin Sunday in Jeddah, but skepticism remains over Russia’s commitment to peace.
Skepticism rises as to whether the aggressor who could have peace by leaving the invaded country alone actually wants peace. It’s a total mystery.
