At least 5 killed in Russian strikes on Ukraine’s Lviv region
At least five people were killed overnight after Russian drone and missile strikes hit Ukraine, officials said Sunday. Four of the victims were members of the same family living in the Lviv region in western Ukraine.
‘Zero reaction from the world’
Poland scrambled fighter jets in response to the attacks to ensure the security of its airspace, the BBC reported.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy criticized the international community for what he described as a lack of response. “Zero reaction from the world,” Zelenskyy wrote on X. “We will fight so that the world does not remain silent.”
Missiles and nukes
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that the supply of Tomahawk missiles to Ukraine by the United States would severely damage relations between Moscow and Washington. U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance said last month that the administration was considering sending the missiles, but no decision has been announced.
In a separate development, President Donald Trump was asked whether he supports extending a nuclear arms agreement with Russia for another year. “Sounds like a good idea to me,” Trump said, responding to a reporter who noted that Putin had offered to extend the accord in hopes of negotiating a new treaty.
Putin said Russia is willing to extend the 2010 New START agreement — but only if the U.S. agrees. The treaty, which limits the size of both nations’ nuclear arsenals, is set to expire in February.
