The strike, which injured at least a dozen people, came as Russian troops edged closer to the city and kept up their siege of the southern port city of Mariupol, where officials said nearly 2,200 people have been killed.
KYIV - An air strike on a residential building in Ukraine's capital killed at least one person Monday, the country's emergency service said, as Moscow maintained its devastating assault ahead of a fresh round of talks.
"We see significant progress," Leonid Slutsky, a senior member of Russia's negotiating team, told state-run television network RT Sunday. "If you do not close our sky, it is only a matter of time before Russian missiles fall on your territory, on Nato territory, on the homes of Nato citizens," Zelensky said in a video address.
"Russian naval forces are also continuing to conduct missile strikes against targets throughout Ukraine," it said. Beijing later accused Washington of spreading lies over China's role in the Ukraine war, without directly addressing the US media reports. Beijing has declined to directly condemn Moscow's invasion, and has repeatedly blamed Nato's "eastward expansion" for worsening tensions, echoing the Kremlin's prime security grievance.
"The enemy is holding the city hostage by performing real acts of genocide," said Ukraine Defence Minister Oleksiy Reznikov. Meanwhile in Kyiv, only the roads to the south remain open, according to the Ukrainian presidency. City authorities have set up checkpoints, and people are stockpiling food and medicine.
