Three killed in Russian strike on Kyiv, as Zelensky calls for pressure on Moscow

Russian strikes on Ukraine overnight have killed three people in Kyiv and left several injured, local officials say. One witness has said “everyone started screaming and running” as debris hit an apartment block.

Ukraine’s air force says it has shot down 97 of 147 drones launched into the country.

Meanwhile, Russia’s defence ministry says it shot down almost 60 Ukrainian drones and say one person was killed after a car caught fire following strikes.

Following the attacks in his nation’s capital, Ukrainian President Zelensky has called for fresh pressure on Russia.

It comes as the Kremlin says they are a step closer to a face-face meeting between Trump and Putin – but a spokesperson says “difficult” technical talks need to be had before this can progress.

US and Ukraine delegations will meet in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, as Washington seeks to negotiate to a potential end to the conflict. On Monday, the US is expected to meet with Russian counterparts.

Putin has rejected a joint US-Ukrainian call for a full and immediate 30-day pause, proposing instead to halt attacks only on energy facilities.
