One killed in an attack on a ballistic rocket against Kiev says Ukraine

One man was killed and four injured in Russia's last rocket attack against Ukraine's capital overnight.

Kiev Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said a nine -year -old girl was among the injured in the attack in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

The Ukrainian military said they had removed six of the seven ballistic missiles and 71 drones fired from Russia overnight.

This comes after President Volodimir Zelenski suggested that Ukraine would be ready to exchange land with Russia in potential peace talks.

The attack causes damage to Kyiv's holosiivskyi, podilskyi, sviatoshynskyi and obolonskyi, said Klitschko to Telegram.

Meanwhile, the city of Curve Rih saw damage to various infrastructures and residential buildings, as it was also directed at a Russian missile strike overnight, a telegram of the regional governor of Denpropetrovska Sergius Lisak told a telegram.

Responding to the attack, Zelenski said Russian President Vladimir Putin “did not prepare for peace.”

“He continues to kill Ukrainians and destroy cities.

“At the moment we need unity and support from all our partners in the fight for a fair end of this war,” he wrote on Telegram.

This comes after Zelenski said earlier to The Guardian that he would be ready to exchange land with Russia in future peace talks.

He told the newspaper that parts of the Russian Kursk region – which Ukraine had held by an offensive six months ago – can be returned in exchange for Ukrainian territory, which is currently occupied by Moscow.

Ukraine has never said that it wants to permanently occupy the hundreds of square kilometers he has seized in the Russian Kursk region, but the goal may have become more clear.

Initially, he hoped that the Kursk operation would ease the pressure on over -Ukrainian troops from other parts of the front line, but with the ongoing dominance of the Russian battlefield, President Zelenski is now striving to use it as a political leverage.

He admits that Ukraine cannot enjoy any security guarantees without its largest ally, USA.

On Friday, he will meet with Vice President JD Vance, who was a critic of US military support for Kyiv.

As the Whitehouse was looking at Ukraine's natural resources in exchange for prolonged help, the leader of Ukraine is many in Piking mode.
