Russian forces launched a massive barrage of drones and missiles into Ukraine on Sunday, killing at least four people.

The strike, mostly targeting the capital city of Kyiv, was the first major aerial assault since Russia launched its largest barrage of the war last month. Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv City Administration, confirmed Sunday’s casualties via Telegram and said 10 people were also wounded in the attack. One of those killed was a 12-year-old girl, he said.

“The Russians have restarted the child death counter,” Tkachenko wrote.

Russia fired a total of 595 exploding drones and decoys and 48 missiles, Ukraine’s air force said Sunday. Of those, air defenses shot down or jammed 566 drones and 45 missiles, they said.

“I think Ukraine, with the support of the European Union, is in a position to fight and win all of Ukraine back in its original form,” he said Tuesday on social media.

“With time, patience, and the financial support of Europe and, in particular, NATO, the original borders from where this war started, is very much an option,” Trump added. “Why not?”

Trump’s comments present a stark reversal from where he stood when he first re-entered office and, in an infamous February Oval Office meeting told Zelenskyy he “[didn’t] have the cards” to take on Russia, and repeatedly suggested Kyiv would need to make significant concessions to end the war.
