NATO reportedly scrambled fighter jets over Europe on Sunday, after Russia unleashed a barrage of hypersonic missiles. A statement from Warsaw said, "Due to the activity of long-range Russian air forces conducting strikes on Ukrainian territory, Polish and allied air forces have begun operating in our airspace." The strike comes amid claims from Donald Trump’s envoy that a peace summit between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky could be on the horizon. Eight people, including a child, were rescued from under the rubble of destroyed buildings, AP reported, citing Ukraine's Emergency Service. Protection is needed every day,” Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky posted on X.
