Kyiv endured a third straight night of Russian strikes that killed seven people, with fresh explosions reported in Kyiv and Kharkiv. As the attacks intensified, Zelensky pressed NATO leaders for more air defence systems, warning that civilians are bearing the brunt. Ukraine also stepped up long-range strikes inside Russia, hitting what Zelensky called "every major Russian refinery," including the country's largest. Trump said he spoke with both Zelensky and Putin. With escalation on both sides, the war is entering another dangerous phase.
