Russia has fired eight ballistic missiles on Kyiv a day after Vladimir Putin claimed his troops were winning on the battlefield and that his maximalist goals to seize more territory in Ukraine were unchanged.
Several explosions were reported in Kyiv at around 7am on Friday. Ukraine’s air force said it shot down eight Kinzhal and Iskander-M missiles, with debris falling in several districts of the city. One person was killed and at least 12 were injured.
