KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia struck Ukraine’s capital with missiles and drones in an attack that killed at least one person. The barrage came a day before the leaders of Ukraine and the United States meet. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the attack “really shows that (Russian President Vladimir) Putin doesn’t want peace.” Authorities said that Saturday’s assault hit residential buildings and energy infrastructure in Kyiv. Moscow said the strike was in response to Ukraine’s attacks on “civilian objects” in Russia. Poland scrambled fighter jets and closed airports in Lublin and Rzeszow near the border with Ukraine for several hours during the Russian attacks but there was no violation of Polish airspace.
