Poland Scrambles Jets as Russia Strikes Kyiv Ahead of Peace Talks
Poland sends jets to secure airspace as Russia hits Kyiv ahead of US-Ukraine peace talks, with evacuations underway and leaders urging stronger allied support.
Poland's air force said it took a preventative step to secure its airspace as Russia began strikes on Kyiv, a move described as a warning ahead of US-Ukraine peace talks.
Ukraine's State Emergency Service said 68 people were evacuated from a retirement home in the eastern Darnytskyi district.
Zelensky wrote on Telegram that Moscow's Daggers missiles and Shahed drones were speaking for Russia and urged America, Europe, and other partners to show strong resolve to counter aggression.
Ukraine's air force also announced a countrywide air alert in the early hours of Saturday, signaling the ongoing threat across the country.
Reports in other outlets noted that Putin indicated Russia could be open to a territory swap as part of a possible deal, a position that could complicate negotiations and the push for a durable settlement.
