Russia pounded Ukraine with deadly missiles and drone strikes in a sweeping attack that the U.S. special envoy on Ukraine said undermined President Donald Trump¡¯s peace efforts.

At least 23 people were killed in the capital early on Thursday, Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv¡¯s military administration, said on Telegram. As of 11 p.m., rescue efforts were still underway.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Trump ¡°was not happy about this news, but he was also not surprised,¡± given that the two countries had been at war for a long time.
