An overnight wave of air strikes hit cities around the country, including Kyiv, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Odesa and Sumy, according to local media.<\/p>\n<p>Ukrainian authorities said a drone attack on a residential area in the city of Kharkiv killed a toddler, a 16-year-old and five other people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Despite all of the diplomacy and peace efforts, Russia continues to kill civilians,&#8221; Ukraine&#8217;s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha said in a social media post. &#8220;Russia is a murderous war machine that Ukraine is holding back. And it must be stopped through transatlantic unity and pressure. Moscow must stop the killing in order to advance diplomacy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This was a demonstrative and cynical Russian strike. They are aware that a meeting is taking place today in Washington that will address the end of the war,&#8221; Zelenskyy said on social media, adding that dozens more people, including children, had been injured in the attack on Kharkiv.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/18\/73c19b84-aa72-433a-a73f-e0f0ef2c81ce\/thumbnail\/620x414\/e73ad7da85e048b30c7bac9ec9824e63\/gettyimages-2230796571.jpg#\" alt=\"Consequences Of Russian Drone Attacks On Kharkiv \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/18\/73c19b84-aa72-433a-a73f-e0f0ef2c81ce\/thumbnail\/620x414\/e73ad7da85e048b30c7bac9ec9824e63\/gettyimages-2230796571.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/08\/18\/73c19b84-aa72-433a-a73f-e0f0ef2c81ce\/thumbnail\/1240x828\/e7e05ace580f3e4dfb075087c9455932\/gettyimages-2230796571.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">A woman looks at the damaged apartment building after the Russian drone attack on August 18, 2025 in Kharkiv, Ukraine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Hnat Holyk\/Gwara Media\/Global Images Ukraine via Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Zelenskyy said, separately, missile strikes in Zaporizhzhia killed three people and injured 20.
