Trump Urges Putin to Cease Attacks on Kyiv Amid Escalating Tensions
President Trump calls for an end to Russian strikes after the deadliest attack on Kyiv in a year.
The missile attacks, the most severe on Ukraine's capital in almost a year, coincided with discussions in the Oval Office where Trump urged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to consider a controversial U.S.-drafted peace plan that seemingly favors Russia.
