Kyiv attack death toll rises as Zelensky seeks Patriot missiles

Kyiv's death toll from Russia's extensive assault has reached at least 27, with 86 individuals injured. Mayor Vitali Klitschko described the attack as the capital's most significant since the 2022 invasion, prompting over 50,000 residents to seek shelter in the metro system and causing widespread damage to residential buildings. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has vowed a response and requested a license from the United States for Patriot missile systems. The Kremlin affirmed Russia "will continue to intensify pressure on the Kyiv regime to achieve the set objectives." Separately, Donald Trump expressed his desire for a peace agreement to end the "senseless killings." Sources: Le Monde
