Russia strikes Kyiv ahead of US-Ukraine peace talks | BBC News

The Ukrainian capital Kyiv was hit by Russian missiles and drones overnight, ahead of talks to end the war.

At least one person was killed and 28 others were injured in Kyiv, Ukraine’s State Emergency Service reported.

As the fighting continues, so does the work to get a peace deal that all sides can agree to. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to meet Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday.

But following the latest Russian strikes, Zelensky has repeated his claim that Russia “does not want to end the war and is trying to use every opportunity to inflict more pain on Ukraine”.

Meanwhile, Russia’s defence ministry said its air defences destroyed seven Ukrainian drones overnight.
