Russia strikes Ukraine hospital hours after Trump says Putin agreed to halt attacks on infrastructure

Kyiv, Ukraine — Russia launched a series of drone strikes that struck civilian areas overnight and damaged a hospital in Ukraine following a phone call between Presidents Trump and Vladimir Putin during which the Russian leader refused to back a full 30-day ceasefire. Mr. Trump had said that Putin agreed during the call to immediately halt attacks "on all energy and infrastructure" in Ukraine.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Wednesday, however, that Russia's attacks continued to hit his country's civilian and energy infrastructure, despite Putin's purported agreement with Mr. Trump. Zelenskyy said Moscow's refusal to halt all strikes on proved the need for increased pressure on Moscow to prevent Putin from prolonging the war.
"This confirms that we must continue to pressure Russia for the sake of peace," he said Tuesday night. "Only a real halt to Russia's attacks on civilian infrastructure can signal a genuine desire to end this war and bring peace closer."
