A massive Ukrainian drone and missile strike on Russia's Black Sea port of Novorossiysk damaged grain terminals and a naval base, killing three people and injuring 24, as cross-border strikes escalate.
Ukraine's grain exports are severely restricted due to Russian Black Sea attacks, Danube drought, and political resistance from EU neighbors like Poland, threatening global food price spikes.
Kyiv suffered ballistic missile attacks, killing 10 and injuring 22, while Donald Trump expressed reluctance on licensing Patriot missile production to Ukraine. President Zelenskyy also urged Trump to facilitate Starlink use for strikes inside Russia. Separately, Ukrainians protested the ouster of the defense minister, and Black Sea grain exports faced threats from drone attacks.
Kyiv suffered ballistic missile attacks, killing nine and wounding 23 across five districts. Meanwhile, Donald Trump retreated from a promise to let Ukraine produce Patriot interceptors, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy sought his help to secure Elon Musk's Starlink for strikes inside Russia.
