Russia launched a massive overnight drone assault across Ukraine, striking energy and civilian infrastructure in multiple regions, including Kharkiv, Sumy, and Donetsk. At least 57 were injured after a hospital in Kharkiv was hit. Ukraine says 96 drones were launched, most intercepted, though critical facilities were damaged. The strikes coincided with President Zelenskyy confirming an October 17 White House meeting with Donald Trump to discuss defense aid, Tomahawk missiles, and sanctions—moves that Moscow has warned could escalate tensions dramatically. <br /> <br /> <br />#RussiaUkraineWar #Ukraine #Russia #DroneStrikes #Putin #Zelenskyy #Trump #USUkraineTies #WarEscalation #TomahawkMissiles #Kharkiv #Donetsk #Sumy #EnergyInfrastructure #AirDefense #PatriotSystems #GlobalTensions #BreakingNews #WW3Fears #RussiaAggression #UkraineDefense #WarInEurope #InternationalRelations #USPolitics #Geopolitics #CrisisUpdate<br /><br />~HT.318~ED.103~
