RUSSIA last night blitzed Ukraine with the heaviest air strikes since the beginning of the war – pounding capital Kyiv with 550 drones and 11 missiles.
The overnight strikes came just moments after Donald Trump had a phone call with Vladimir Putin.

Fires broke out in multiple locations as almost every district in the capital city was struck, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s military administration.
Dozens of Ukrainians were injured as toxic smoke engulfed the city.
The Svyatoshynskyi and Solomanskyi districts were among the hardest hit, with blazes on rooftops and in courtyards.
Short on air defence systems, Ukraine could only down two of 11 missiles.

Another nine missiles – one Kinzhal [Dagger], two Iskander-K, and six Iskander-M – wreaked havoc in the city.
The barrage came hot on the heels of Trump’s phone conversation with Putin, which ended in “no progress at all”, according to the US president.
“I didn’t make any progress with him at all,” the US President told reporters outside a Washington air base on Thursday.
The nearly hour-long call appeared to achieve little as Moscow stood firm on its war ambitions.
