Hey Seth Meyers — I don’t know who wrote this line for you, but it sounds deeply ignorant and embarrassing. Odesa is a Ukrainian city that Russia has been relentlessly attacking for four years, killing civilians and destroying its heritage. Do better.

Reporter: Do you still think Mr. Zelenskyy is a dictator? Donald Trump: Did I say that? I can’t believe I said that. Next question.

To all those trying to deny Russian war crimes. Clear footage of a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile hitting Ukraine’s largest children hospital in Kyiv.

🚨A Russian Shahed drone struck an apartment building in Romania, in the eastern city of Galați. Several people were injured, according to local media. Romania is a member of NATO.

🚨Kyiv is under a massive combined air attack right now. Russia is hitting residential areas, schools, markets, and other civilian objects across the city. Friends say it’s one of the worst attacks they’ve experienced. The assault is still underway, with more missiles incoming.

🚨 Russian air attack on Kyiv: At least 3 killed, including a baby. 13 others wounded. Debris from a drone also struck a Ukrainian government building in central Kyiv.

This morning Russia hit residential buildings/areas in Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Dnipro, and multiple other UKR cities. Friends and family heard loud explosions. At the moment, the massive air attack on Ukraine is still ongoing. Tell me more about Putin’s willingness for “peace talks.”

🚨Tonight, Russia again launched a massive air attack on Kyiv, hitting apartment buildings all over the city and injuring at least 24 people. As the assault unfolded, pro-Ukraine activists gathered in New York’s Times Square to draw attention to the attacks. 📷: Rebirth Ukraine

Horrific. Morning footage from Kyiv Ukraine after Russia poured ballistic missiles on civilian neighborhoods, targeting apartment buildings, schools, markets, and bomb shelters full of people. Video: Радіо Свобода's reporter Serhii Nuzhnenko.

‼️Donald Trump on Zelenskyy's letter to Putin: "I'm glad that they're talking about meeting. I think we had a lot to do with it. I think it'd be great. ... They're both going to make make compromises. I suggested those compromises. They're two very good people."

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Happening right now: a big pro-Ukrainian rally in Anchorage ahead of the Trump-Putin meeting. “Ukraine and Alaska — Russian never again.”

This is what the Voice of America satellite channels are broadcasting right now.

Donald Trump: [Russia] took Crimea during Obama. Then they took a big chunk of land, as you know, during Bush. And now they're trying to take the whole thing during Biden. The only one that didn't give them anything was Trump.

Speaker Mike Johnson on NBC says he thinks President Zelenskyy may need to resign to get a peace deal: “Either he needs to come to his senses and come back to the table in gratitude or someone else needs to lead the country. It’s up to the Ukrainians to figure that out.”

Jul 28, 2018, then-Secretary of State Mike Pompeo: "Today, the Trump administration is releasing what we’re calling the Crimea Declaration. ... I want to assure this committee that the U.S. does not and will not recognize the Kremlin’s purported annexation of Crimea."

🇺🇦🇺🇸Ukrainian rally in downtown D.C. today. Demonstrators marched to the Russian ambassador’s residence, passing the White House. Some signs I saw: ‘Ukraine is not for sale,’ ‘Nothing about Ukraine without Ukraine,’ and ‘Supporting Ukraine makes America great.’

Trump’s special envoy to Ukraine and Russia, Keith Kellog, on the assassination of Russian top general Kirillov in Moscow: “There are rules of warfare and there are certain things you don’t do. … I don’t think it’s really smart to do it. Not a good idea at all, in my opinion.”

Donald Trump’s dialogue with Myroslava Petsa: — Is the US ready to sell Patriots to Ukraine? — Are you living in Ukraine? — My husband is there. — Is your husband a soldier? — Yes. — Wow. That’s tough. … We're going to see if we can make some Patriot missiles available.

🚨A Russian Shahed drone struck an apartment building in Romania, in the eastern city of Galați. Several people were injured, according to local media. Romania is a member of NATO.

Ukraine’s foreign affairs minister Kuleba went to McDonald’s with Secretary Blinken during his visit to Kyiv. Kuleba: When I was a student, my best hangover food was from McDonald’s. Blinken: I’m sure it was very rare.

"My neighbors are gone. They were here. Now none of them live" - Serhiy, a survivor of #Russia's missile attack on a residential building in Uman #Ukraine, where at least 23 people were killed, including 4 kids. Watch this video by DW Deutsche Welle. I added English subtitles.

Putin today: "All of Ukraine is ours... We have an old rule: wherever a Russian soldier steps, it is ours." I don’t know how many times Ukrainians have to say this: 1) Russia doesn’t seek peace; 2) A Russian soldier will not stop in Ukraine. Here, added English subs for you.

❗️"Anything Zelensky has said, as far as what Ukraine has done to help us, he's just doing for political and PR purposes, they've done nothing, Trump said. He said Zelensky is more difficult to deal with than Putin, and that Putin has shown he's not afraid of Europe" - Stephanie Ruhle.
