Russia launched a barrage of hundreds of drones and missiles at Ukraine’s capital overnight, killing at least two people and wounding 16 others. The attack sparked fires across Kyiv with damage to residences, vehicles and warehouses. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the bombardment “a clear escalation of terror” by Moscow.

Meanwhile, CNN has revealed that Donald Trump told a private gathering of wealthy donors last year that he once sought to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin from attacking Ukraine by threatening to “bomb the [blank] out of Moscow” — though Trump used an expletive. The revelation came in audiotapes recorded at fundraisers in New York and Florida.

President Donald Trump: “With Putin I said, 'If you go into Ukraine, I'm going to bomb the shit out of Moscow. I’m telling you I have no choice.’”

Trump claimed he made a similar threat to Chinese President Xi Jinping over a potential invasion of Taiwan, saying the U.S. was prepared to bomb Beijing.
