'Dire': Kyiv badly hit by relentless Russian attacks after abrupt US halt to Patriot defence support

Kyiv faced one of its worst aerial attacks since the war began, with Russian drones and missiles striking the city overnight, killing at least one person and injuring dozens—including a child. The assault comes just as U.S. military aid, including crucial Patriot defense systems, was abruptly halted, leaving Ukraine more vulnerable. Ukrainian President Zelenskyy later spoke with U.S. President Trump, calling the conversation "productive," though details remain unclear.
Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another headline about the war—it’s a grim escalation at a critical moment. Without U.S. air defense support, Ukraine is exposed to even deadlier attacks, and Russia seems to be exploiting that weakness. The timing raises tough questions about Western commitments and whether political shifts (like Trump’s stance) could reshape the war’s trajectory. For Ukrainians, it’s a stark reminder of how quickly security can unravel when allies waver.
