Russia attacked Ukraine's capital with missiles and drones early Saturday morning, killing one and wounding over 20 people a day before talks between Ukraine and the U.S., local authorities said.

A day before his scheduled meeting with US President Donald Trump in Florida, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelensky called Russian President Vladimir Putin a “man of war” after Moscow carried out the year’s longest sustained attack on Kyiv and the surrounding region.

As we've been reporting, earlier President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia sent 500 drones as well as 40 missiles in the attack on Kyiv. The city's mayor, Vitaliy Klitschko, said emergency power outage schedules are now in place while "4,000 residential buildings in the capital are without heat due to damage to the power supply system".
