The port city of Odesa in Ukraine experienced a renewed Russian missile attack in the early hours of Sunday, just prior to President Vladimir Putin’s scheduled summit with Belarusian ally Alexander Lukashenko in Saint Petersburg. The two leaders are set to discuss the “strategic partnership and alliance” between their nations, as stated by the Kremlin.
