US president Donald Trump says he has been in contact with Kyiv and Moscow about ending the war
’s early morning missile attack on Kyiv killed at least one civilian, injured three, and sparked several fires throughout the city,Prospects for renewed peace negotiations to end the war that Russia launched on Ukraine nearly three years ago have increased after US President Donald Trump said that he had been in contact with Kyiv and Mr Putin. Mr Zelenskiy also said on Tuesday that Kyiv will soon hold talks to US officials.
Kyiv’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said on Telegram that at least one person was killed and three injured, including a nine-year-old child, as a result of the attack and emergency services were called to at least four districts of the Ukrainian capital. The military administration said that fires broke out at several residential and non-residential buildings.
Air raid alerts were imposed only at the start of the attack at around 2.27am. It was not immediately clear what missiles were used, but the late launch of air raid alerts suggests they were difficult to detect by radar.
