The White House said Thursday that President Donald Trump was "not happy" but "not surprised" by overnight Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv that killed at least 15 people and damaged several buildings, including the British Council’s offices. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Trump will issue a fuller statement later in the day. The president has been pressing for a cease-fire, but his 15 August meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage yielded little progress toward ending the conflict. Leavitt noted that Ukrainian strikes earlier this month severely damaged Russian oil refineries and argued that "both sides are not ready" to stop fighting. U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff is scheduled to meet Ukrainian representatives in New York on Friday as Washington continues efforts to facilitate negotiations.
