Russia attacked Kyiv with missiles and drones early Saturday morning, killing one person and wounding 27 others, according to local authorities. The assault occurred a day before scheduled talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump.

Explosions resonated across Kyiv for several hours as ballistic missiles and drones struck the city. The attacks began in the early morning and continued into daylight. Rescuers were observed working at the scene of a building damaged in the attack, as reported by The Associated Press.

President Zelenskyy is scheduled to meet with President Trump in Florida on Sunday to discuss strategies for ending the nearly four-year-old war. According to Zelenskyy, the agenda includes security guarantees and territorial issues in the Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions.

This latest attack underscores the ongoing challenges in the conflict, which began nearly four years ago. The use of AI in analyzing satellite imagery and social media data has become increasingly important for monitoring the conflict and identifying potential targets. AI algorithms are also being used to detect and intercept incoming missiles and drones, though the effectiveness of these systems varies. The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet commented on the specifics of the attack.

The upcoming talks between Zelenskyy and Trump are viewed as a critical opportunity to de-escalate the conflict and explore potential pathways toward a lasting peace. The discussions are expected to address the role of international observers and the implementation of ceasefire agreements. The situation remains fluid, and further developments are anticipated in the coming days.
