U.S. President Donald Trump said Ukraine must compensate Russia for destroyed aircraft, adding: "They were just sitting there, not bothering anyone. If the Ukrainians had shot them down during a combat mission, that would be a different matter. But they were just sitting there. It's like hitting someone who's already down."

Moscow said on Wednesday that military options were "on the table" for its response to Ukrainian attacks deep inside Russia and accused the West of being involved in them. Russia also urged the United States and Britain to restrain Kyiv after the attacks,
