Ukrainian and Russian Attacks Kill 3 Civilians as Zelenskyy Prepares to Meet Trump

Ukrainian attacks on Russia’s Belgorod region have killed two civilians while Russian shelling in eastern Ukraine left one man dead. The governor of Belgorod reported that a woman was killed and a man died in a drone strike. In Ukraine, Russian shelling in the Donetsk region damaged buildings and infrastructure. This follows a large-scale Russian missile and drone attack on Saturday, which killed at least three people and wounded dozens. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine had been targeted by “more than 1,500 strike drones, over 1,280 guided aerial bombs, and 50 missiles of various types” in recent days. Zelenskyy expects to meet U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly this week.
