Russia and Ukraine exchanged deadly aerial strikes on Tuesday, killing five people in Ukraine, as President Volodymyr Zelensky prepared to meet President Trump in New York. Ukrainian forces damaged two Russian oil refineries in overnight attacks, while Russia struck four Ukrainian regions with missiles and drones. Trump has urged Zelensky to halt such strikes, citing global fuel shortages, though Kyiv links them to Russia's attacks on its power grid. Zelensky is seeking US support for Patriot systems and a truce on energy infrastructure strikes. The war has caused over 500,000 casualties on each side and disrupted Black Sea grain exports, threatening famine in African countries.
