Mutual attacks between Russia and Ukraine continue amid diplomatic efforts and mutual criticism.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine had not received any prior warning from its partners about a Russian ballistic missile attack targeting the capital, Kiev, during which five missiles hit civilian infrastructure. Zelensky did not specify the partners he was talking about, and described the bombing that targeted the city as "vile," stressing that receiving intelligence information from Ukraine's partners regarding such ballistic missile attacks "helps save lives, which is a very important issue."
Zelensky accuses Moscow of continuing attacks despite Trump's announcement
At the White House, US President Donald Trump told reporters that the United States has not stopped sharing intelligence information with Ukraine, and that it continues to do so in the hope of ending the war. Zelensky's statements came days after Trump directed strong criticism at him, including saying that the time had come for a new president in Ukraine, and that Zelensky had not done enough to end the war.
These criticisms may indicate the lowest point in their relationship since their meeting in the Oval Office in February 2025, which was described as disastrous. Zelensky said that Russia had launched attacks on Ukraine using more than 100 weapons since Monday evening.
He added on Tuesday that Ukraine did not launch attacks on Russian oil refineries or other energy facilities during the two days that followed Trump's announcement of an alleged ceasefire agreement on energy infrastructure in Russia and Ukraine.
The Ukrainian president criticized Moscow for what he described as Russian attacks on energy facilities and critical infrastructure in Ukraine during the period following Trump's announcement, saying that "these are absolutely clear indicators that they do not intend to stop launching attacks on Ukraine."

Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin, for his part, reported that “180 drones were destroyed as they approached Moscow.”
