Kyiv (Ukraine) (AFP) – Ukraine's capital Kyiv was in mourning on Friday after a Russian attack killed 24 people a day earlier, with President Volodymyr Zelensky denouncing Moscow's "brutal terror" and the two sides going ahead with an exchange of hundreds of captured soldiers.

Retaliatory overnight strikes by Kyiv's army, launched as bodies were still being pulled from the rubble in Kyiv, killed four, including a child, in the Russian city of Ryazan, Russian officials said.
Zelensky visited the site of the building ripped apart by a Russian missile, where all the victims were killed.
"Here, Russia took the lives of 24 people, including three children," Zelensky said, after walking through a courtyard littered with rubble.
