Russia strikes downtown Kyiv, hits National Academy of Sciences, kills one

Russian forces conducted an all-day drone attack on Kyiv, striking a medical center and the National Academy of Sciences in the downtown area, killing one and injuring 24. The strike marks a notable escalation in attacks on civilian infrastructure in the capital. Separately, Ukraine's Operation Vivaldi liberated three settlements and inflicted 2,000 Russian losses, while reports indicate Trump is urging Zelensky to ease strikes on Russian refineries, a potential policy shift.
