Donald Trump’s so-called peace deal is unraveling fast after Russian missiles obliterated a Kyiv apartment block, killing 24 people including three children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy didn’t waste time retaliating, launching a massive drone strike that just leveled one of Russia’s biggest oil refineries. The exchange marks a brutal escalation in a war that’s now entering its fifth year, and the fallout is already reshaping the ceasefire brokered by the U.S.
According to Al Jazeera, the Thursday, May 14, 2026, attack on Kyiv was part of Russia’s largest aerial assault since the war began. Ukraine’s air force confirmed the strike targeted a nine-story apartment building in the Darnytskyi district, leaving entire families buried under rubble. Zelenskyy called the attack a deliberate act of terror, and he made it clear Ukraine wouldn’t stand idle.
