Russia launches new attacks on Ukraine with the countdown to a US peace deadline underway
KYIV, Ukraine — Russian weapons pounded four Ukrainian cities overnight from Tuesday to Wednesday, injuring at least 15 people in an attack that mostly targeted energy infrastructure , officials said.
The latest bombardment in Russia's escalating aerial campaign against civilian areas came ahead of a Sept. 2 deadline set by U.S. President Donald Trump for the Kremlin to reach a peace deal in the three-year war , under the threat of possible severe Washington sanctions if it doesn't.
