Russian forces attacked the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv early Tuesday, striking a residential building and wounding at least four people, the Associated Press (AP) reported, hours after U.S. President Donald Trump struck a cautiously optimistic tone on hopes for peace.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a lengthy response after Trump blamed Ukrainian leadership for its “violent and terrible” war with Russia.

As for Mr Trump, he again betrayed his underlying bias: sympathy for Russia and indifference to Ukraine. Ahead of the Geneva talks he dismissively said Mr Zelensky “can continue to fight his little heart out” if no agreement were reached, and complained on social media that “UKRAINE ‘LEADERSHIP’ HAS EXPRESSED ZERO GRATITUDE FOR OUR EFFORTS.”

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that a proposed peace plan now under discussion with the United States and Europe has incorporated "correct" points, but sensitive issues were to be discussed with U.
