'..Trump’s [very short] attention span.' - Russian missile and drone attack on Kyiv kills at least 15 people

'Some Ukrainian diplomats are privately furious at Trump’s snub, even saying they are not sure it is worth the Ukrainian president turning up to the Nato summit in The Hague next week. One official said: “It is an occupational hazard that Ukraine is a victim of events and Trump’s attention span. Putin knows that, which is why there may have been such a large attack last night. There had been all sorts of promises, including new arms deliveries being offered.”'
