Russia fires about 800 drones at Ukraine despite recent talk by Putin and Trump of possible peace

Russia has launched a massive daytime drone attack on Ukraine, firing at least 800 drones across 20 regions of the country. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says at least six people were killed and dozens wounded, including children. Wednesday's targets included the cities of Kyiv, Lviv and Odesa. Zelenskyy is warning of possible cruise and ballistic missile attacks by Moscow following the drone barrage. Despite ongoing attacks, Ukraine remains hopeful for peace. U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin have suggested the war could be nearing an end. However, they provided no evidence or details to support those statements.
