Russia launches drone strikes on Kyiv hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy speaks with U.S. President Donald Trump. Multiple outlets report the attacks occur around the period leading up to Zelenskiy’s planned address at the United Nations.
The reports describe the strikes as a fresh exchange in the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, with Kyiv hit by drones following the high-level call. While the outlets align on the timing—after the Zelenskiy–Trump conversation and before Zelenskiy’s UN appearance—they provide limited additional details beyond the fact of the attacks and the schedule context.
