<p>Two days after President Donald Trump expressed disappointment with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia launched another major missile and drone attack at Ukraine&#8217;s capital overnight Wednesday, killing at least two people and wounding 16 more, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.</p>
<p>Ukrainian police said on Thursday morning that Russian missiles struck eight different districts in Kyiv, targeting residential areas, the BBC <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj3rvpe06rxo">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;Residential buildings, vehicles, warehouses, office and non-residential buildings are burning,&#8221; said Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv Regional Administration. According to the Ukrainian government, a 68-year-old woman and a 22-year-old police officer were killed at a metro station during Russia&#8217;s bombardment.</p>
<p>Zelensky added that Russia fired 18 missiles and launched 400 drones targeting Kyiv. The latest Russian offensive came just one night after Putin hit Ukraine with the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/russia-launches-largest-drone-and-missile-attack-yet-against-ukraine?author=Jayden+Jelso&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Russia+Launches+Largest+Drone+And+Missile+Attack+Yet+Against+Ukraine">largest</a> drone and missile attack since the start of the war.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is a clear escalation of terror by Russia — hundreds of &#8216;shaheds&#8217; every night, constant strikes, and massive attacks on Ukrainian cities,&#8221; Zelensky posted on X. &#8220;This demands that we speed things up. Sanctions must be imposed faster, and pressure on Russia must be strong enough that they truly feel the consequences of their terror. There’s a need for quicker action from our partners in investing in weapons production and advancing technology.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Last night, Russia launched a massive combined strike that lasted nearly 10 hours. 18 missiles, including ballistic ones, and around 400 attack drones were used — nearly 200 of them were &quot;shaheds.&quot;</p>
<p>The main target of the attack was Kyiv and the region. Chernihiv, Sumy, Poltava,… <a href="https://t.co/jtBo0YYQ8d">pic.twitter.com/jtBo0YYQ8d</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) <a href="https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1943199462135824718?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 10, 2025</a></p></blockquote>
<p>As President Trump continues to seek a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, Putin has stepped up his aggression in the war. Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Putin, telling reporters on Tuesday, &#8220;We get a lot of bulls*** thrown at us by Putin, if you want to know the truth. He&#8217;s very nice to us all the time, but it turns out to be meaningless.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/we-have-to-trump-to-send-ukraine-more-defensive-weapons?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=%E2%80%98We+Have+To%E2%80%99%3A+Trump+To+Send+Ukraine+More+Defensive+Weapons">said</a> earlier this week that the United States will send more defensive weapons to Ukraine, so the country can &#8220;defend themselves.&#8221;</p>
<p>“I’m disappointed, frankly, that President Putin hasn’t stopped,” Trump added.</p>
<p>Some Republicans in Congress, led by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) in the House and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in the Senate, are pushing Trump to impose sanctions on Russia and punish Putin for his refusal to work with Ukraine and the United States on a peace agreement. The president is <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/07/09/trump-is-interested-in-new-russia-sanctions-but-theres-a-catch-00445148">reportedly</a> considering the idea of hitting Russia with new sanctions and punishing nations that trade with Putin.</p>
<p>“[Trump] told me he thought it would be helpful,” Graham said, referring to his bill that would place a 500% tariff on any country that imports Russian uranium, gas, or oil. “We want to be a team. We want to help the president. This is an effort to give the president leverage he doesn’t have today.”</p>
