Russia strikes Ukraine's capital and kills at least 1 person a day before Zelenskyy-Trump meeting
"Explosions boomed across Kyiv as the attack began in early morning and continued for hours. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy prepared to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida on Sunday for further talks on ending the nearly four-year war. Zelenskyy told reporters that he and Trump plan to discuss several matters including security guarantees and territorial issues in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions."
"The Russian Defense Ministry said that it carried out a massive strike overnight, using long-range precision-guided weapons from land, air and sea, including Kinzhal hypersonic aeroballistic missiles and drones. It said it targeted energy infrastructure facilities used by Ukraine's forces and military-industrial enterprises. But several residential buildings were struck. The ministry said the strike was in response to Ukraine's attacks on civilian objects in Russia."
A missile-and-drone assault struck Kyiv early in the morning and lasted for hours, killing at least one person and wounding 27. Residential apartment buildings were hit despite Russian claims the strikes targeted energy infrastructure and military-industrial facilities, and the Defense Ministry said the action responded to alleged Ukrainian attacks on civilian objects in Russia. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was preparing to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida to discuss security guarantees and territorial issues in Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia. Canada announced $1.8 billion in economic assistance to unlock IMF and World Bank financing for reconstruction.
