Russian missiles hit Kyiv as Ukraine’s Zelensky tells US to ‘call a spade a spade’
The Ukrainian president slammed Washington’s ‘weak reaction’ to a strike on his hometown that killed nine children
A missile attack on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv early Sunday killed one person and injured at least three people, city officials said, as missile and drone strikes across the country left at least one more person dead. The attack comes two days after a Russian missile killed 18 people in President Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown.
Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said paramedics had been sent to two districts in Kyiv, while the Ukrainian air force said missiles had entered the northern Chernihiv region.
“Explosions in the capital. Air defence is in operation,” Klitschko said on Telegram.
“The missile attack on Kyiv continues. Stay in shelters!”
He added that three people were injured so far, while fires broke out in non-residential buildings and eight cars were damaged.
The attacks come as US President Donald Trump pushes for a partial ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, more than three years into Moscow’s full-scale invasion, and seeks a thaw in ties with the Kremlin.
