Russian strikes killed three people, including a child, in the region surrounding the capital Kyiv on Saturday, an official said.Tymur Tkachenko, head of the Kyiv regional administration, said Russian strikes were recorded at three locations in the Boryspil district, near the capital.Three more people were injured in the attack, he said.In the capital itself, fires were reported in two districts, Mayor Vitali Klitschko said, following an air raid alert.Reuters witnesses heard several powerful explosions that shook the centre of the city.Meanwhile, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy arrived in Serbia on Friday for his first visit to the Balkan country, expected to focus on economic co-operation and bids by both countries to secure European Union membership.Zelenskiy posted a video on Telegram showing his arrival in advance of talks with populist president Aleksandar Vucic and other officials.“We will be speaking about expanding economic ties between our countries, relations with the European Union, and other things that can work for our peoples, as well as security issues,” Zelenskiy wrote.Zelenskiy’s visit will likely sour ties between Serbia and Russia, its long-time ally and main natural gas supplier.On Thursday, Vucic said the two leaders would discuss European Union accession bids as well as economic and energy co-operation. – Reuters
