Russia launched daylight drone attacks on Kyiv Wednesday, killing two and wounding 23 hours before President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's UN address. The strikes set fires and damaged buildings across the capital and elsewhere. In Zaporizhzhia, two men were wounded by a strike that ignited a large shopping mall fire. In Odesa, a Ukrainian cargo ship captain was killed in an attack on commercial vessels, part of escalating strikes targeting export revenues. Zelenskyy met with US President Donald Trump Tuesday to seek support. Turkey proposed ending strikes on civilian ships, but both foes haven't acted. Russia claimed it intercepted over 500 Ukrainian drones overnight.
