Russian drone and missile attack on Kyiv reportedly kills one, injures 27 as Ukraine's president prepares for crucial Trump meeting with peace proposal.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says several key issues remain unresolved in negotiations with the United States over a framework to end Russia’s war.

Zelensky’s meeting with Trump could mark a pivotal moment in the war, potentially shaping the trajectory of peace negotiations.

KYIV: Russia pummelled Ukraine's capital with drones and missiles on Saturday (Dec 27), killing a woman and cutting power to hundreds of thousands, ahead of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's latest talks with United States leader Donald Trump.

Nearly a third of the Ukrainian capital was left without heat amid freezing temperatures after Russian drones knocked out municipal heating plants. At least 11 people were wounded in the overnight barrage.

Several powerful explosions rocked Kyiv on Saturday as authorities warned that the Ukrainian capital was under threat of missile attack.

Ukraine's air force also announced a countrywide air alert in the early hours of Saturday and said on social media that drones and missiles were moving over several Ukrainian regions, including the capital.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he had a "really good conversation" with U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
