Russia Launches Mass Strikes on Kyiv as Zelensky and Trump Prepare Peace Meeting

Zelensky says a US-backed 20-point framework is nearly finished.

Overview

  • An overnight barrage of missiles and drones hit Kyiv and several regions, triggering fires and damaging residential areas, with local officials reporting multiple injuries.
  • Ukrainian reports said Kinzhal hypersonic missiles were used and energy sites were targeted, and about a third of the capital lost power, according to local authorities.
  • Poland scrambled fighter jets and temporarily closed the Rzeszow and Lublin airports over unplanned military activity tied to regional security.
  • Zelensky accused Belarus of helping guide Russian Shahed drones by mounting antennas on residential buildings and said he would seek a coordinated response from allies.
  • Ahead of a Sunday meeting in Florida with President Donald Trump, Zelensky said the peace plan is 90% complete, while the Kremlin has not accepted it and continues to press for concessions in Donetsk and the end of Ukraine’s NATO bid.
