Russian missile and drone strikes have intensified across Ukraine, killing two people and injuring thirteen in Kyiv, as speculation grows over a postponed Trump–Putin summit and the future of their stalled negotiations.
Two people were killed and thirteen others were injured in Kyiv after Russian missiles and drones struck multiple sites across Ukraine overnight, officials said on Saturday.
According to the head of Kyiv’s city military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, the attack shattered windows, damaged cars, and left a crater in the courtyard of a residential building. Several fires broke out across the city, and a kindergarten was among the damaged sites.
Ukraine’s air force said it had shot down four of nine missiles and 50 of 62 drones launched overnight across the country. In a statement on Telegram, it reported five direct missile hits and 12 drone strikes on 11 sites nationwide.
Emergency crews worked through the night to contain the fires and assess the damage. Authorities said rescue operations were ongoing, with investigations under way to determine the full scale of the destruction.
Since the beginning of the year, Russia has launched approximately 770 ballistic missiles and more than 50 hypersonic Kinzhal missiles. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reported this on Facebook.
The strikes came as global attention turned again to the uncertain state of diplomacy between Washington and Moscow.
A planned Trump–Putin summit in Budapest was cancelled last week, with both sides citing unresolved differences over Ukraine. The White House has since confirmed that no immediate meeting is planned, though future talks remain possible.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy has urged Western partners to maintain military and financial support, warning that Russia’s intensified strikes signal “a deliberate strategy to exhaust Ukraine’s defences.
