A massive Russian attack on Kyiv that killed several people and injured dozens came hours after peace talks appeared to stall and President Trump lashed out at Ukrainian President Zelenskyy.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he would cut short his official trip to South Africa and return home as the city reeled. The bombardment appeared to be Russia’s biggest attack on Kyiv in nine months, and Zelensky called it one of Russia’s ”most outrageous.”

The president’s comments came after he said Crimea “will stay with Russia,” a position backed by the mayor of Kyiv, who conceded that his country may have to give up territory.

President Donald Trump is calling for Ukraine and Russia to meet for “very high level talks,” saying they are “very close to a deal” after productive meetings
