Ukraine-Russia war latest: One dead in surprise Kyiv missile attack as Zelensky offers Putin Kursk swap
One person has died in the Ukrainian capital Kyiv after it came under surprise attack from multiple Russian missile strikes, Kyiv’s mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
Emergency services were called to at least four districts of the Ukrainian capital after reports of fire and damage.
There was no advance warning for residents of an impending attack, with air raid sirens only activating after the strike was underway.
The military administration said that fires broke out at several residential and non-residential buildings across the capital.
Volodymyr Zelensky has offered to swap land seized in Russia’s Kursk region for the return of occupied Ukrainian territory as part of potential peace negotiations led by Donald Trump.
“We will swap one territory for another,” Mr Zelensky said in an interview with the Guardian.
Mr Zelensky did not specify the Ukrainian territories he would ask for in exchange for a swathe of Kursk roughly the size of Detroit. Vladimir Putin’s forces currently occupy about 20 per cent of Ukraine.
