Moscow has inflicted another round of deadly strikes on Ukraine despite US President Donald Trump’s plea for Russian President Vladimir Putin to “STOP!” attacking its neighbor.

White House envoy Steve Witkoff met on Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin. Why it matters: The fourth meeting between Witkoff and Putin comes a day after President Trump made a public demand that Russia stop its missile and drone attacks on Ukraine and focus on negotiating a peace deal.

Ukraine’s officials said three people were killed by a Russian drone attack early Friday, less than a day after President Trump urged Russian President Vladimir Putin to stop the assaults and focus on peace negotiations.
