Russia attacked ‌Kyiv with missiles and Ukrainian drones hit Moscow's refinery as both countries exchanged strikes hours after President Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke with U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders.

A Reuters witness heard explosions in Kyiv and authorities in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Sumy said one person was killed in a drone attack. Air strike alerts were issued for ​most of Ukraine's territory.

"The enemy is attacking the capital with ballistic missiles. Stay in safe places until the air raid alert is ​over!" Tymur Tkachenko, the head of Kyiv's military administration, said in a Telegram post early on Thursday.
