Russian strike on Kyiv draws rare rebuke from Trump; peace talks stall

"President Trump criticized Russian missile and drone attacks in Kyiv as unnecessary and at bad timing, sparking rare public criticism of Russia. The attacks, which killed at least 12 people and wounded nearly 90, have drawn sharp U.S. and French demand for a ceasefire despite Moscow’s insistence on security guarantees. Local residents describe the violence as traumatic, while President Biden and France push for peace but Russia counters with demands over Crimea, complicating diplomatic efforts."
