Russian Strikes Kill Six Across Ukraine, Putin-Trump Summit Shelved

Russian missile and drone attacks on Ukraine have killed at least six people, including two children, and caused widespread fires and power outages across Kyiv and other regions. The strikes targeted energy infrastructure extensively, leaving hundreds of thousands without power and water, and damaging key facilities in cities such as Kyiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Poltava. Kyiv's Mayor Vitali Klitschko and other officials reported multiple fires in residential areas, including a high-rise apartment fire in the Dniprovskyi district, with several people injured and hospitalized. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's chief of staff criticized Russia for rejecting a U.S. ceasefire proposal, urging collective action to stop the violence. In response to Moscow's refusal to agree to an immediate ceasefire, U.S. President Donald Trump postponed a planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, with no immediate plans to reschedule. Meanwhile, Zelenskiy is set to meet Sweden's Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson as part of ongoing diplomatic efforts amid the intensifying conflict.
