US CITIZEN DEAD
Another Kyiv resident, Sergiy, said his windows were shattered during the strikes.
“I was asleep. There was a loud bang. The window was smashed, and glass rained down on me,” he said.
Residential buildings, educational institutions and “critical infrastructure facilities” were all hit, Klymenko wrote on Telegram.
A total of 114 were wounded in the attack on Kyiv, 68 of them hospitalised, Mayor Vitaliy Klitschko said.
He reported earlier that a US citizen had died in a Russian attack on the capital’s Solomyansky district.
“During the attack on Kyiv … a 62-year-old US citizen died in a house opposite to the place where medics were providing assistance to the injured,” Klitschko said on Telegram.
Yermak said the new strikes showed Moscow was “continuing its war against civilians”.
More than three years into its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Moscow has kept up its attacks despite efforts by the US to broker a ceasefire.
Talks have stalled. Moscow has rejected the “unconditional” truce demanded by Kyiv and its European allies, while Ukraine has dismissed Russia’s demands as “ultimatums”.
On Monday, Zelenskyy had said he hoped to speak with his US counterpart Donald Trump on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Canada.
But the Ukrainian leader was expected to arrive at the G7 after the departure of the American president, who cut short his stay in the Canadian Rockies as Israel pounded Iran.
