The latest attack was one of the largest in months. It came just hours after the White House presented Ukrainian officials with what amounted to an ultimatum about a US proposal to end the 38-month-old Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Western efforts to try and resolve the Ukraine war or to achieve even a temporary cease-fire have sputtered in recent days as Russia shows no indication it will ease its assault and Ukraine pushes back on US proposals.

With a signing bonus of up to $21,000 and monthly pay exceeding many Chinese salaries, these ads are turning heads—and raising serious concerns. Ukraine recently announced the capture of two Chinese mercenaries, adding weight to accusations that Russia recruits foreigners in a growing, organized campaign.
Some of these Chinese fighters have no prior military experience, while others seek combat as a way to gain real-life battlefield exposure. Despite China's official stance discouraging participation in the war, censorship gaps in Chinese social media allow recruitment posts to spread unchecked.
