Russia put missiles and 212 drones on Ukraine overnight. Four dead in Dnipro, the regional governor said. Kryvyi Rih and Pavlohrad were hit. The World War desk files the morning Zelenskyy landed in New York: a southeastern oblast on fire, and a meeting with Trump at 1:15 local.
Kyiv said it damaged another Rosneft refinery, a fuel plant for central Russia. Trump wrote Monday that Moscow had lost control of its diesel industry. He wants an energy truce. Zelenskyy: Ukraine’s grid and food exports must stop being targets; then matching steps. “Solutions are possible.”
Solutions are possible.
