A Russian strike hit Kyiv in broad daylight on a Saturday, leaving cars burning and casualties in the streets. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reports at least three people killed and seven injured.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia is not preparing to stop its war against Ukraine, accusing Vladimir Putin of repeatedly finding excuses to avoid meetings, trilateral talks, and any steps toward ending the fighting.
