KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — A Russian missile strike on port infrastructure in Odesa has killed eight people and wounded 27, according to Ukraine’s emergency service. The attack occurred late Friday, with some victims on a bus at the center of the strike. On Saturday, a Kremlin envoy is set to travel to Florida for talks on a U.S.-proposed plan to end the nearly four-year war. The discussions are part of the Trump administration’s push for peace. European Union leaders on Friday agreed to provide a massive interest-free loan to Ukraine to meet its military and economic needs for the next two years.
