On the 34th anniversary of its independence, Ukraine was accused by Russia of launching drone attacks that triggered a fire at a nuclear power plant in Russia’s western Kursk region. Russian officials said the overnight strike targeted multiple energy facilities, including the Kursk nuclear plant, where a transformer caught fire. The blaze was quickly extinguished and no injuries were reported. Radiation levels remained normal, according to plant authorities.
In one of the most aggressive assaults of its war with Ukraine, Russia launched a strike near NATO with 614 drones, ballistic, and cruise missiles, striking deep into Ukraine and destroying an American-owned business less than an hour from two NATO borders.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Monday on Fox News’ Hannity that Ukraine will likely need to accept ceding land to Russia as part of a negotiated settlement, while crediting President Donald Trump with laying the groundwork for peace.
A Russian drone strike on Kharkiv killed civilians—including children—just as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with President Trump and European leaders at the White House.
