Russia goes ballistic: 17,000 Ukrainians left in dark after massive drone barrage, Trump silent

Moscow’s latest drone and missile blitz destroyed energy grids and civilian infrastructure, testing Trump’s fragile ceasefire proposal. As Zelensky urges an immediate truce, Putin’s forces expand their control on the frontlines.
