Just as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy arrived in Washington, D.C. to meet President Donald Trump at the White House, Russia routed his nation with airstrikes on Monday, killing 10.
Seven people, including a toddler and a 16-year-old, were killed by a Russian drone strike on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv, according to local authorities.
Ukrainian officials took the strikes as a message from Russian President Vladimir Putin that he has no intention to end the war.
“That’s why Putin doesn’t want to cease fire,” Andriy Yermak, Zelenskyy’s chief of staff, wrote on Telegram. “He enjoys shelling peaceful cities while talking about his desire to end the war.”
Video footage of the aftermath released by local authorities shows a residential building where the upper levels collapsed, with firefighters hosing it down as smoke rises from the rubble.
A partially blurred photo released by Ukraine’s emergency services appeared to show a firefighter holding the limp body of a child.
