Russian forces launched powerful glide bombs and drones against Ukraine’s second-largest city in overnight attacks, hitting a hospital and wounding seven people, an official said Tuesday, as European military aid for Kyiv dropped sharply and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepared to ask US President Donald Trump for Tomahawk missiles.

The Russian attack on Kharkiv in Ukraine’s northeast hit the city’s main hospital, forcing the evacuation of 50 patients, regional head Oleh Syniehubov said. The attack’s main targets were energy facilities, Zelenskyy said, without providing details of what was hit.


Zelenskyy urged foreign countries to help blunt Russia’s long-range attacks by providing more air defence systems for the country, which is almost the size of Texas and hard to defend from the air in its entirety.
