Russia launches nearly 150 drones at Ukraine

Russia launched a sweeping drone assault and airstrikes across Ukraine overnight into Sunday, killing at least four people, officials said. This comes after US President Trump cast doubt over Russian President Vladimir Putin’s willingness to end the war.

Three people died and four were wounded on Sunday morning in airstrikes on Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk region, the regional prosecutor’s office said. Another person died and a 14-year-old girl was wounded in a drone attack on the city of Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which was hit for the third consecutive night, local Governor Serhii Lysak said.

Meanwhile, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine needs to happen soon, adding that the Trump administration will spend the coming week trying to determine whether to continue as a mediator.

“It needs to happen soon. We cannot continue to dedicate time and resources to this effort if it's not going to come to fruition,” Rubio told NBC. “This week is going to be a really important week,” he added.
