Ukraine's capital came under drone attacks from Russia just hours after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke with Donald Trump. The strikes occurred before Zelenskiy's meeting with the former U.S. President, according to reports from Illawarra Mercury. Meanwhile, in Brussels, the European Union announced it had removed two Russian oligarchs from its sanctions list following diplomatic efforts among EU nations. The decision was confirmed by Latvian Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs during exclusive discussions. Trump expressed confidence that the war would conclude sooner than widely believed, emphasizing a potential shift in the conflict's trajectory. The timing of the attacks and the EU's sanctions reversal highlight the complex and evolving dynamics of the situation. As tensions continue, both sides remain in a delicate balance of diplomacy and military action.
