> Russia launched daylight drone attacks on Kyiv on Wednesday, killing two people and injuring 23, just hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was due to address world leaders at the UN General Assembly. Zelenskyy had met US President Donald Trump the previous day, as Trump voiced frustration at the lack of progress toward ending the war and the continuing escalation of aerial attacks by both sides.
