Russia has launched a wave of devastating attacks on Ukraine, killing at least seven people including two children in the process. The strikes, which included Russian drones and missiles, hit several areas, including the city of Kharkiv, where a kindergarten was targeted.
The attack comes just hours after US President Donald Trump cancelled his planned summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, citing concerns over Russia's continued involvement in Ukraine. However, Kremlin officials claim that the talks are still on, with a date yet to be confirmed.
The strikes in Kharkiv left dozens of people wounded, including six children, and brought the city to a standstill as rescue teams struggled to extinguish fires in residential buildings. The capital Kyiv also came under attack, with Russian forces targeting energy infrastructure and leaving thousands without electricity and water.
Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of failing to put enough pressure on Moscow for its continued involvement in the conflict, saying that the shelving of the Trump-Putin summit is a result of his request for long-range missiles.
The situation remains volatile as officials on both sides continue to trade barbs and negotiate over the ongoing crisis.

it's like they're caught in this never-ending nightmare. Those attacks on Kharkiv are just heartbreaking, especially targeting a kindergarten... can you even imagine? 
And the fact that rescue teams had to deal with fires and all that chaos must've been super tough for them. 
like, don't get me wrong, I trust Ukraine's President Zelensky, but come on, Russia's not giving an inch... Putin needs to figure a way to de-escalate this situation ASAP. And what about all the innocent civilians caught in the middle? We need some serious diplomacy here 
.
... like what's going on in Ukraine? I know it's all about Russia and their attacks, but it seems so confusing... they're saying one thing, then another... I don't get how all these presidents are involved and why Trump cancelled his meeting with Putin. Is that a big deal? And what's up with the drones and missiles? Can someone explain it to me in simple terms 
? Oh, and btw, did you hear about that new iPhone release? I'm thinking of getting one 
what's going on with these leaders, can't they just talk it out already? all this back and forth is just escalating things and putting innocent lives at risk 
And honestly, Russia's not exactly covering themselves in glory here... those drone strikes were brutal! 
. what's going on with these leaders?! can't they see how their actions are affecting innocent people like kids just trying to go to kindergarten? 
.
just heard about this latest wave of attacks in Ukraine 
it's heartbreaking to see kids get caught in the crossfire, especially a kindergarten being targeted 
like what's Russia thinking? are they trying to drive everyone crazy? 
this summit thingy got cancelled for good reason, no need for more bloodshed on either side 
. Can't we just talk this out like civilized humans? 
. And what about the innocent civilians caught in the crossfire? We need to think about how our actions are affecting people's lives, not just our own interests 
.
Can you believe this? Russia launches a wave of attacks, kinda like when my internet connection decides to join in on the fun 
. But seriously, who needs kids in a kindergarten as collateral damage? Not cute, not cool 
. And Trump cancelling the summit? Sounds like he's trying to avoid getting his hands dirty... or should I say, Putin's? 
. Anyway, I guess this is what they mean by 'tense' diplomatic relations 
. Seven people killed, including two kids?! That's just heartbreaking 
. and now we're seeing more civilians getting caught in the crossfire which is just devastating... what can be done to put an end to all this violence? 
?
ukraine needs our support, both morally and financially, we cannot just sit back and watch as innocent lives are lost
