Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected President Donald Trump’s idea that Russia and Ukraine are like kids at the playground who would be better off fighting for a while before being pulled apart.

The comments, in an Oval Office meeting with German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, were Trump’s clearest indication to date that he was unsure he would be able to quell Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Operation of the city's metro transport system was disrupted because a Russian strike had hit and damaged a train between stations. The air attack also triggered fires in residential buildings.
