RUSSIA launched a sweeping drone assault across Ukraine on Saturday night and into today, targeting multiple regions, after US President Donald Trump cast doubt on his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin’s willingness to end the war.

One person was killed and a 14-year-old girl was wounded in the city of Pavlohrad in the Dnipropetrovsk region, which was hit for the third consecutive night, regional Governor Serhii Lysak said.

The attacks came hours after Russia claimed to have regained control over the remaining parts of the Kursk region, which Ukrainian forces seized in a surprise incursion last August. Ukrainian officials said the fighting in Kursk was not over.
