Strikes in Ukraine kill six following weekend drone attacks

Russian air strikes in Ukraine killed at least six people on Monday, following a record number of drone attacks over the weekend. The strikes targeted the southern cities of Mykolaiv and Zaporizhzhia, injuring more than a dozen others. The attacks occurred amid heightened tensions after Donald Trump's election as US president. Trump has indicated a willingness to negotiate with Russia, which contrasts with the current US administration's approach. He recently spoke with both Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz about potential peace efforts. Despite Trump's election, the conflict continues to escalate. Russia has made significant territorial gains recently, and Ukrainian officials stress the importance of ongoing US support to defend against further aggression.
