A Russian drone strike on the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv left three people dead and 17 injured early Monday morning. 

One of the fatalities was a toddler, with multiple reports suggesting the victim was either a 1-year-old or 2-year-old boy. The attack came a day after Russia fired ballistic missiles at the city on Sunday, which left a 13-year-old dead, according to reports.

It also occurred hours before Trump is set to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other European leaders in Washington, D.C., on Monday.
