Kyiv, Ukraine / Florida, USA — In a dramatic escalation of both violence and diplomacy, Russian forces launched a massive wave of missile and drone strikes against the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, in the early hours of Saturday. Local authorities report at least one fatality and over 27 injuries as air defenses worked for hours to intercept ballistic missiles.
This military surge comes exactly 24 hours before a high-profile meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and U.S. President Donald Trump in Florida. The summit is expected to focus on a potential peace plan to end the nearly four-year-long conflict.
Zelenskyy has recently hinted at the possibility of putting a peace plan to a national referendum if it involves difficult territorial concessions, provided Russia agrees to a 60-day ceasefire. However, President Trump signaled his characteristic “America First” stance in a recent interview, stating that no plan has his approval until he personally signs off on it. The world watches closely as the “Florida Summit” represents the most significant diplomatic opening since the war began
