At least 14 killed as Russia strikes Ukraine a day after Zelenskyy warning

Returning from the US, Zelenskyy says Ukrainians’ safety depends on allies’ willingness to provide anti-missile defences. Russia has killed at least 14 people in air strikes on Ukraine, including one person in Kyiv, a day after the Ukrainian president warned that a “massive” attack was imminent. Attacks extended as far west as the city of Lviv, forcing neighbouring Poland to scramble fighter jets to secure its airspace, according to a statement by its armed forces on X. Multiple explosions were heard in the Ukrainian capital soon after 1am local time on Thursday (22:00 GMT Wednesday), according to Kyiv Independent reporters on the ground.
