伦敦-乌克兰报告称,149架俄罗斯无人机在周日凌晨夜间进入该国,此前几小时,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)在教皇方济各(Donald Trump)的葬礼上会见了乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基。
乌克兰空军在一份电报中表示,57架无人机被击落,67架在飞行中失踪。空军表示,该国六个地区——日托米尔州、第聂伯彼得罗夫斯克州、敖德萨州、顿涅茨克州、苏梅州和切尔卡西州——记录了无人机袭击造成的损失。
空军在给Telegram的另一封邮件中说,在过去一周,俄罗斯用48枚各种类型的导弹和442架无人驾驶攻击机袭击了乌克兰。
与此同时,俄罗斯国防部表示,俄罗斯军队在周日早上击落了八架乌克兰无人机。
最新的无人机交火发生在特朗普和泽连斯基在梵蒂冈城会面后不久,白宫继续努力促成停火与和平协议,以结束俄罗斯对其邻国长达三年的入侵——这场持续的行动是俄罗斯十多年跨境侵略的最新篇章。
白宫通讯主任张致恒告诉随行的记者,两人进行了“非常富有成效的会谈”
泽连斯基在发给《x》的一篇帖子中称这次会面“很好”。他写道,“我们一对一地讨论了很多问题。”。“希望我们所涉及的一切都有结果。保护我们人民的生命。全面无条件停火。这将防止另一场战争的爆发。非常具有象征意义的会晤,如果我们取得共同成果,它有可能成为历史性的会晤。”
会面后,川普抨击了俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京对乌克兰城市的持续轰炸,包括上周晚些时候对基辅的致命弹道导弹袭击。
特朗普写道,“过去几天,普京没有理由向平民区、城镇发射导弹”。
“这让我觉得,也许他不想停止战争,他只是在利用我,必须通过‘银行’或‘二次制裁’来区别对待?”太多人快死了!!!”他补充道。
梵蒂冈会议之前,特使史蒂夫·维特科夫(Steve Witkoff)周五在莫斯科与普京会面,此前特朗普发布消息称,这是“与俄罗斯和乌克兰会谈和会晤的好日子”,他表示,现在是战斗人员在“非常高的级别”会面的时候了。
特朗普在他的社交媒体网站上写道:“他们非常接近达成协议,双方现在应该在非常高的级别会面,以‘完成它’。”。
“大部分的要点都是同意的。停止流血,现在。我们将在任何必要的地方帮助结束这场残酷和无意义的战争!”特朗普在帖子中补充道,但没有提供关于明显进展的更多信息。
Russia launches drone barrage into Ukraine after Trump-Zelenskyy meeting
LONDON --Ukraine reported 149 Russian drones launched into the country overnight into the early hours of Sunday, the barrage coming hours after President Donald Trump met with Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Pope Francis' funeral in Vatican City.
Ukraine's air force said in a Telegram post that 57 of the drones were shot down and 67 were lost in flight. Six regions of the country -- Zhytomyr, Dnipropetrovsk, Odessa, Donetsk, Sumy and Cherkasy -- recorded damage from drone attacks, the air force said.
The air force said in another post to Telegram that over the previous week, Russia attacked Ukraine with 48 missiles of various types and 442 attack drones.
Russia's Defense Ministry, meanwhile, said its forces downed eight Ukrainian drones overnight into Sunday morning.
The latest exchange of drones came shortly after Trump and Zelenskyy met in the Vatican City, as the White House continued its efforts to broker a ceasefire and peace deal to end Moscow's 3-year-old invasion of its neighbor -- the ongoing operation the latest chapter in more than a decade of Russian cross-border aggression.
White House Communications Director Steven Cheung told the press pool traveling with Trump that the two men had a "very productive session."
Zelenskyy described the meeting as "good" in a post to X. "We discussed a lot one on one," he wrote. "Hoping for results on everything we covered. Protecting lives of our people. Full and unconditional ceasefire. Reliable and lasting peace that will prevent another war from breaking out. Very symbolic meeting that has potential to become historic, if we achieve joint results."
After their meeting, Trump hit out at Russian President Vladimir Putin over Moscow's continued bombardments of Ukrainian cities, which late last week included a deadly ballistic missile strike on Kyiv.
There was "no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days," Trump wrote.
"It makes me think that maybe he doesn't want to stop the war, he's just tapping me along, and has to be dealt with differently, through 'Banking' or 'Secondary Sanctions?' Too many people are dying!!!" he added.
The Vatican meeting followed special envoy Steve Witkoff's meeting with Putin in Moscow on Friday, before which Trump posted that it was "a good day in talks and meetings with Russia and Ukraine" and he suggested it was time for the combatants to meet at "very high levels."
"They are very close to a deal, and the two sides should now meet, at very high levels, to "finish it off," Trump wrote on his social media site.
"Most of the major points are agreed to. Stop the bloodshed, NOW. We will be wherever is necessary to help facilitate the END to this cruel and senseless war!" Trump added in the post, but provided no additional information about the apparent progress.
