Russian drone attack targets Kharkiv in eastern Ukraine
At least eight people were injured in the attack, including two teenagers, military governor Oleh Syniehubov wrote on Telegram.
The strike, which involved at least eight combat drones, targeted a "municipal enterprise," Mayor Ihor Terekhov said, without providing further details. He added that a major fire broke out on the company premises.
The Russian military has been intensifying its attacks on major Ukrainian cities for several weeks, with civilians bearing the brunt of the violence, which started in February 2022, when Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

In His Own Words: How Trump Changed His Tone on Putin and the War in Ukraine
President Trump's harsh words in recent days about President Vladimir V. Putin marked a sharp break from the strikingly positive posture he has taken for years toward the Russian leader. During the 2016 presidential campaign, Mr. Trump repeatedly praised Mr. Putin and predicted the two men would forge a productive relationship. When Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine in 2022, Mr. Trump called Mr. Putin a 'genius' for moving to seize large swaths of territory — applauding what he viewed as hard-line negotiation tactics. 'How smart is that? And he's going to go in and be a peacekeeper,' Mr. Trump said, adding: 'Here's a guy who's very savvy. I know him very well.' As Mr. Putin's army slaughtered civilians in a Ukrainian suburb and abducted Ukrainian children to Russia, Mr. Trump called such actions 'terrible,' but stressed that he 'got along with him really well.' Mr. Putin responded with his own compliments, saying that he couldn't 'help but feel happy about' Mr. Trump's continued support for a negotiated peace favorable to Russia. Many of Mr. Trump's comments about Mr. Putin have reflected his anger about the U.S. investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election that dominated his first term. 'Let me tell you, Putin went through a hell of a lot with me,' he said in February, seated next to President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine in the Oval Office. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Trump Is Expected to Announce New Weapons Pipeline for Ukraine
President Trump is expected to announce on Monday a new arms supply for Ukraine, including more advanced Patriot missile defense batteries, that NATO member countries will pay for. The NATO secretary general, Mark Rutte, who has been coordinating the plan, is expected to join Mr. Trump for the announcement in Washington. Mr. Trump told reporters on Sunday that he would send the missiles to Ukraine to help defend the country against Russia's invasion, and again criticized President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia, saying he 'talks nice but then he bombs everyone in the evening.' Mr. Trump has expressed increasing disappointment and anger with Mr. Putin over Russia's refusal to agree to a cease-fire more than three years after its full-scale invasion and has at times threatened to impose new sanctions on Moscow. So far he has not done so, although he is being pressed by allies like Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina. Mr. Graham, a strong advocate of helping Ukraine to defend itself, has cosponsored a bipartisan bill that would hit the Russian economy hard in hopes of pressuring Moscow to end the war. Mr. Rutte has been coordinating the purchase of American weapons by other NATO member states to supply to Ukraine after it became clear that Mr. Trump was unwilling to provide any more through direct aid. Mr. Trump has not blocked the sending of American weapons to Kyiv under an aid package that Congress authorized during former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.'s term. That money is expected to run out later this summer. On Sunday, Mr. Trump said that the United States would send Ukraine the Patriots 'they desperately need.' The number was under discussion, he added. 'But the European Union will pay us 100 percent for them,' he said, which is not strictly accurate, given that individual member countries will pay, not the European Union or NATO itself. Of the 27 E.U. nations, 23 are also members of NATO. Boris Pistorius, Germany's minister of defense, will also be in Washington to meet with his American counterpart, Pete Hegseth, as will Mr. Rutte. Germany has offered to buy two Patriot systems to give to Ukraine, while Norway has offered to purchase one. The Patriot system is both expensive and in short supply, but it is thought to be the only effective defense against Russia's best ballistic and hypersonic missiles, which have been clobbering Ukrainian cities and infuriating Mr. Trump. In addition to Mr. Trump and Mr. Hegseth, Mr. Rutte was also set to meet Secretary of State Marco Rubio and members of Congress, including Mr. Graham.
