Russia launched a barrage of ballistic missiles at Kyiv early Friday, killing at least one person and injuring 12. The attacks occurred as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky met with European leaders in Brussels to discuss potential military aid for Ukraine.
Ukrainian officials say the attack was a response to tensions between Russia and Ukraine following comments made by Russian President Vladimir Putin during a year-end news conference. In a tweet, Zelensky responded to Putin’s remarks, calling him a “dumbass”. The situation remains volatile, with European allies considering deploying troops to Ukraine in the event of a deal with Russia to end the war.
