Laura Loomer, an ardent ally of President Donald Trump with a reputation for incendiary social media commentary, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday after a dramatic turnaround on the war that could have political reverberations back in Washington.

Russian drones and missiles killed four people across Ukraine on Wednesday in attacks before dawn and at midday, as Moscow kept up its pressure on the capital of Kyiv in the latest phase of the over 4-year-old war.

Ukraine has enough space for storing products, and alternative routes have been developed since the start of the war for exports, a minister says.

Ukraine has developed an effective, if not necessarily novel, strategy of attrition: kill more Russian soldiers, faster.

Ukraine launched a raid of more than two hundred drones across several Russian regions overnight, striking a Wildberries logistics hub, a refinery, and a Transneft pipeline dispatching station in Bashkortostan.
