DONETSK REGION, Ukraine — When President Donald Trump hosted Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska last week, Oleksandr Bulka, 35, had high hopes the talks would result in at least a partial ceasefire to halt Russian air attacks on Ukrainian civilians like him. The next morning, he awoke with his legs crushed under the rubble of his apartment in the eastern town of Bilozerske. A Russian glide bomb had smashed into a neighboring building, sending a shock wave toward him. He dragged himself downstairs, where medics rushed him to a hospital in Kramatorsk, the fortified Ukrainian city that Russia still hopes to seize.
