Ukraine's officials say three people were killed by a Russian drone attack early Friday, less than a day after President Trump urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “STOP” the assaults and focus on peace negotiations.
The drone hit an apartment building in the southeastern city of Pavlohrad, killing three people and injuring at least 14, according to the city’s governor Serhii Lysak. The overnight strike damaged infrastructure and injured at least three children ages six, 15 and 17.
Pavlohrad, with a population of just over 100,000, is situated within the Dnipropetrovsk region, some 48 miles east of the city of Dnipro.
The Russian military launched 103 Shahed and other decoy drones in five regions within Ukraine, according to the Ukrainian air force. Ukraine was able to shoot down 41 Russian drones in the east, north and center parts of the country.
The Kremlin’s military also targeted Kyiv on Thursday, killing at least 12 people and injuring 87 in what was the deadliest attack on the nation's capital since July last year. The attack drew a rebuke from Trump who emphasized that Putin should focus on striking a peace agreement with Ukraine to end the war in Eastern Europe that has been raging for over three years.
“I am not happy with the Russian strikes on KYIV,” Trump wrote in a Thursday post on Truth Social. “Not necessary, and very bad timing. Vladimir, STOP! 5000 soldiers a week are dying. Lets get the Peace Deal DONE!”
Since taking office, the president has pushed both Russia and Ukraine to reach a permanent ceasefire, but with limited success. Trump, Vice President Vance and Marco Rubio have all warned that if there isn’t imminent progress in negotiating a lasting truce between the two sides, the U.S. might relinquish itself from facilitating talks.
Both Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are set to travel to Vatican City on Friday for Pope Francis’ funeral, which is set for Saturday. It is unclear if they will meet.
