Russian attacks continue on Ukraine overnight hours after Trump put more pressure on Moscow
Update: Date: 2025-07-29T07:44:05.000Z Title: Morning opening: Russian attacks don't stop despite Trump's threat Content: More than 20 people were killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine overnight, just hours after US president Donald Trump sought to put more pressure on Moscow by shortening the deadline for reaching an agreement on a ceasefire to '10-12' days. At least 16 people were killed in an attack on a Ukrainian prison, with more than 35 injured. More people died in other attacks in different parts of the country, including on a hospital and a private home, authorities reported. Andriy Yermak, top aide to Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, said: This is another war crime by the Russians, who will not stop if they are not stopped. He added: 'Putin's regime, which also issues threats against the United States through some of its mouthpieces, must face economic and military blows that strip it of the capacity to wage war.' President Zelenskyy expressed Ukraine's high hopes last night, saying that Trump's declaration was 'right on time, when a lot can change through strength for real peace.' Let's see if we get any further reaction to the overnight attacks. Elsewhere, we will be looking for more reactions from the EU and across the bloc to the EU-US trade deal signed at the weekend, the latest on German response to Gaza as chancellor Friedrich Merz meets with Jordanian King Abdullah II, and more news from across the continent. I will bring you all key updates from across Europe here. It's Tuesday, 29 July 2025, it's Jakub Krupa here, and this is Europe Live. Good morning.

Putin's deadly response to Trump's new ultimatum: Russian bombs kill 20 including 16 in strike on a prison hours after Donald told Kremlin to end war in 10 days
At least 20 people were killed and more than 40 others wounded in a series of overnight Russian missile strikes across Ukraine, officials said on Tuesday. It comes just hours after Donald Trump warned Vladimir Putin to end the war within ten days or face crippling new sanctions. The heaviest bombardment hit the Zaporizhzhia region, where eight strikes were carried out, including one that hit a prison, according to Ivan Fedorov, head of the region's military administration. In a post on Telegram, he said: '16 people were killed, 35 were wounded. The premises were destroyed and nearby houses were damaged.' Missiles also rained down on the Dnipropetrovsk region, where several more people were killed and injured in multiple attacks, officials said. A strike on the city of Kamyanske killed two people, wounded five others and damaged a hospital, according to regional governor Sergiy Lysak. Another attack on the region's Synelnykivsky district left one person dead and several more wounded, he said. In a separate incident in Velykomykhaylivska on Monday night, 'a 75-year-old woman was killed. A 68-year-old man was wounded. A private house was damaged,' Lysak added in another Telegram post. In southern Russia, a Ukrainian drone strike killed one person, according to local authorities. 'A car was damaged on Ostrovsky Street. Unfortunately, the driver who was in it died,' said Yuri Slyusar, acting governor of the Rostov region. The attacks came as Ukrainian forces continue efforts to repel Russia's summer offensive, which has pushed into areas that have been largely spared since the early stages of the full-scale invasion in 2022. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's chief of staff, Andriy Yermak, blasted the strikes, saying it was 'another war crime' committed by Russia. Writing on X, he said: '(Russian President Vladimir) Putin's regime, which also issues threats against the United States through some of its mouthpieces, must face economic and military blows that strip it of the capacity to wage war.' Over the weekend, the Russian army announced it had 'liberated the settlement of Maliyevka' in the Dnipropetrovsk region, just weeks after it seized the first village in the area. The strikes followed remarks by former US President Donald Trump, who on Monday warned Moscow it had just days to bring the war to an end. He said Russia had 'about 10 or 12 days' to stop the conflict in Ukraine or face tough sanctions.

Business live: Asian markets slip on jitters over downside of tariffs
A further risk to world growth came from a rise in oil prices after President Trump threatened a shortened deadline of 10 or 12 days for Russia to make progress towards ending the war in Ukraine or face tougher sanctions on oil exports. Trump said there was 'no reason in waiting' because of a lack of tangible action by President Putin. The sanctions would impose 100 per cent tariffs on buyers of Russian oil, with the biggest customers being India and China. The spot price for Brent crude rose $1.26 to $70.10 a barrel on concerns about global crude supplies. Trump has been unable to fulfil his promise to resolve the war quickly. Asian stocks slipped as relief that the US-EU trade deal had avoided a trade war gave way to concerns about the damage tariffs could cause to growth and inflation. The 15 per cent levy on Europe compares with tariffs of 1 per cent to 2 per cent before President Trump took office. German chancellor Friedrich Merz, who had said the agreement had 'succeeded in averting a trade conflict', later said it would cause 'considerable damage' to his country, Europe and the US. Economists at JP Morgan wrote: 'While the worst case scenario was averted, the implied EU tariff increase from 1 per cent in January is a significant tax increase on EU exports. This is a very big shock that unwinds a century of US leadership in global free trade.' Markets in Japan, China, Australia and India were lower, with only South Korea's Kospi higher. On Wall Street, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq rose to record highs as investors looked beyond the trade deal. The Dow Jones industrial average finished a fraction lower. Equity futures, however, are pointing to the markets in Europe edging higher when trading begins.
