During Pope Francis’s funeral, Vladimir Putin disregarded Donald Trump’s appeal for a ceasefire, launching drone strikes across Ukraine, targeting at least six regions. One notable strike in Kamianske resulted in casualties, including the death of a man and injuries to an 11-year-old girl, highlighting the ongoing attacks on civilians. As Ukraine faced significant disruptions in banking and technology services, critics, including Mike Pence, condemned Putin’s actions, asserting that they demonstrated a lack of commitment to peace negotiations.
