Ukraine hits Russia with ‘biggest drone attack in two years’ as Trump tells NATO war will ‘end soon’

Ukraine hits Russia with ‘biggest drone attack in two years’ as Trump tells NATO war will ‘end soon’

Day 1,593.

Today, as Ukraine reportedly launches one of the largest waves of air strikes inside Russia since the full-scale invasion began – while also targeting multiple Russian vessels in the Sea of Azov – we bring you the latest from the NATO summit in Turkey, where world leaders are gathering for what could prove one of the most consequential meetings of the war. What is really at stake for the alliance? How secure is continued US support for NATO? And what military commitments can realistically be expected that will strengthen President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hand, both on the battlefield and at the negotiating table, as pressure mounts on Vladimir Putin at home?
