A pre-dawn Russian missile salvo on the Ukrainian capital killed at least one civilian and injured four others on Wednesday, sparking several fires in the city of three million, Ukrainian officials said.

Vladimir Putin is not preparing for peace and continues to slaughter Ukrainians despite talk of a ceasefire, Volodymyr Zelensky warned. The Ukrainian president said Putin was still destroying cities and killing civilians after a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv killed someone and injured four others.

According to the Air Force, six of the seven missiles that targeted the cities of Kyiv and Kryvyi Rih were intercepted by air defenses. Ukrainian forces also reportedly shot down 71 drones over 11 oblasts,
