Russia has launched attacks on Ukraine for a third consecutive night, according to Ukrainian regional officials and emergency services. This follows the deadliest aerial assault of the war thus far, which occurred the previous day and resulted in at least 12 fatalities, drawing condemnation from U.S. President Donald Trump.
