Russia has continued its attack on Ukraine. A drone hit an apartment building in a southeastern Ukraine city, killing three people and injuring 10 others, officials said Friday, a day after Trump criticized Putin for a major missile and drone attack on Kyiv that killed 12 people and injured 87.

President Donald Trump said in an interview published Friday that “Crimea will stay with Russia,” the latest example of the U.S. leader pressuring Ukraine to make concessions to end the war while it remains under siege.
