A small bloc of GOP lawmakers defied their leadership — and President Donald Trump — by forcing the House to soon take up a major bill to deliver US military support to Ukraine while imposing steep sanctions on Russia.

ABOARD AIR FORCE ONE, May 15 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday suggested a Russian missile strike on a Kyiv apartment building that killed 24 people, including three children, could set back efforts to find a peaceful settlement to Moscow's war in Ukraine.

With peace talks on ice and Ukraine now more self-reliant, President Volodymyr Zelensky seems to be stepping away from the United States.

It was “one of the longest, massive Russian attacks against Ukraine,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said on social media.

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia fired at least 800 drones in a massive daytime barrage on about 20 regions of Ukraine on Wednesday, killing at least six people and wounding dozens, including children, in one of the longest attacks by Moscow in the 4-year-old war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.

European partners question viability of a Trump plan to arm Ukraine as weeks of war with Iran deplete U.S. supplies of critical weapons.

A huge wave of Russian strikes overnight targeted Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, killing at least 17 people and injuring dozens of others, according to Ukrainian authorities.
