The head of Kyiv’s military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, confirmed Saturday’s strike hit “multiple targets on the capital’s outskirts”.<\/p>\n
“Enemy drones are over the city, with air defence responding,” he wrote on Telegram.<\/p>\n
“Currently, in Kyiv there is a total of one dead and seven injured, including one child.”<\/p>\n
The body of a man was recovered by rescuers in the Sviatoshynskyi district west of the city, Tkachenko confirmed.<\/p>\n
Two women were among the wounded in the town of Brovary east of Kyiv, with the regional governor saying “missiles and drones” targeted residential areas.<\/p>\n
Klitschko said the strike had started a fire in the lower floors of a high-rise apartment block west of the city centre, while another blaze was brought under control in a central district.<\/p>\n
Earlier this week, Russia and Ukraine traded deadly strikes overnight, which set fire to apartment buildings and killed seven people in Kyiv, while Russia’s Rostov region reported three deaths.<\/p>\n
Saturday’s attack comes amid President Donald Trump’s push for the two sides to accept a draft peace plan, which was initially slanted heavily towards Moscow’s demands. It was subsequently revised during talks between Ukrainian and US negotiators in Geneva.<\/p>\n
On Thursday, President Vladimir Putin doubled down on his core demands for ending the war, saying Russia will halt its offensive only if Ukraine’s troops withdraw from territory claimed by Moscow.<\/p>\n
Putin also confirmed a US delegation including special envoy Steve Witkoff is expected in Moscow in the first half of next week to discuss the draft peace plan at the centre of negotiations.<\/p>\n
Zelensky said in a video address late on Thursday that Ukrainian and US delegations would meet “to translate the points we secured in Geneva into a form that puts us on the path to peace and security guarantees”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The head of Kyiv’s military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, confirmed Saturday’s strike hit “multiple targets on the capital’s outskirts”.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":600762,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[2000,299,657],"class_list":{"0":"post-600761","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115631602021385045","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=600761"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/600761\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/600762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=600761"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=600761"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=600761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
