In breaking news, a Ukrainian politician has been killed in Lviv. Authorities reported the death of Andriy Parubiy following a shooting incident on Saturday. The attacker, reportedly disguised as a delivery driver, fled the scene, and a search is underway.

The attack occurred after Russia launched a wave of drone and missile strikes on Kyiv. These strikes resulted in casualties and injuries in the Zaporizhzhia region. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned the attack.

The recent attacks follow a meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, which was intended to discuss peace negotiations. However, little progress has been made in establishing a peace process since the meeting.
