Russia Escalates Kyiv Strikes Days Before NATO Summit Showdown

The Russian attack on Kyiv calls for tougher sanctions

A massive Russian strike on Kyiv killed at least 27 people and damaged residential buildings across several districts, marking one of the largest attacks on the capital this year. US lawmakers from both parties, including Joe Wilson and Don Bacon, have called for tougher sanctions and faster military aid, criticizing the Trump administration's pace on Russia.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has renewed his appeal to Washington for support in building Patriot missile systems domestically as NATO leaders prepare to meet in Turkey.

The scale of the assault has reignited demands in the United States and Europe for tougher military and economic measures against Moscow.
