A Russian missile barrage targeted western Ukraine overnight, collapsing part of a high‑rise in Ternopil, killing at least 25 and injuring dozens of other residents—including children—as simultaneous strikes battered Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Kharkiv, overwhelming emergency crews across the region.

If Russia launched an attack on  NATO ’s eastern flank tomorrow, it could take up to 45 days for the alliance to move troops and equipment from Western Europe—a dangerous delay that European leaders now hope to fix with a sweeping new “military Schengen” plan to cut transit time to just days.
