Zelenskyy to meet Trump after deadly Russia-Ukraine strikes

Russia and Ukraine exchanged deadly overnight strikes Tuesday, with Russian attacks killing four people in Ukraine and Ukrainian forces damaging a Russian oil refinery, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepared to meet U.S. President Donald Trump at the U.N. General Assembly. Russian forces hit at least four Ukrainian regions with missiles and drones, killing four in Dnipro and wounding at least five in Kyiv, while Ukraine struck the Kuibyshev oil refinery in Samara, killing one. Zelenskyy plans to discuss de-escalation proposals, including a truce on energy strikes and Black Sea attacks, and request more Patriot air defense systems. The war, which Western officials say has killed over 500,000 Russian troops, has caused global fuel shortages and disrupted Ukrainian grain exports. France pledged additional radars to protect Ukraine's power grid, and Zelenskyy met U.S. senators to thank them for bipartisan support and a new Russian sanctions bill.
