BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four children were among at least 14 people injured in an overnight Russian air attack on the capital Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two high-rise residential buildings were hit in the strikes, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, without specifying if they were hit directly or as a result of falling debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Everyone is receiving medical assistance, some have been hospitalised,” Kyiv’s military administration said in a post on Telegram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, Russian air defences destroyed a drone heading towards Moscow, according to the city’s mayor, Sergei Sobyanin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strikes come as US President Donald Trump said that he would only meet his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin if he knew that “we’re going to make a deal”, days after plans for the two to meet in Budapest collapsed<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’ve always had a great relationship with Vladimir Putin, but this has been very disappointing,” Trump said on board Air Force One, as he began a week-long trip to Asia<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I thought this would have gotten done before peace in the Middle East,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump also said that he would like China to help efforts to end the war in Ukraine<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US president is due to meet China’s President Xi Jinping in South Korea on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ending the Russia-Ukraine war has become a focal point for Trump in recent months, with a ceasefire deal so far eluding him, despite his campaign promises to solve the situation quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A summit with Putin in August failed to yield any tangible results, and Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Moscow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Every time I speak to Vladimir, I have good conversations and then they don’t go anywhere,” Trump said earlier this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, senior Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev, who met US officials in Washington on Friday and Saturday, told CNN that he believed Russia, Ukraine and the US were close to a diplomatic solution to end the war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It’s a big move by President Zelensky to already acknowledge that it’s about battle lines,” Dmitriev said, a reference to the Ukrainian president’s description of using current front lines as the starting point for negotiations as a “good compromise”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You know, his previous position was that Russia should leave completely so actually, I think we are reasonably close to a diplomatic solution that can be worked out,” Dmitriev added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump this week said that talks with Putin “don’t go anywhere”,<\/a> as he announced new sanctions targeting Russia’s two largest oil companies – Rosneft and Lukoil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
