Russia-Ukraine war news: Russian missiles hit Mykolaiv; Kremlin cautiously welcomes Xi-Zelensky call
A Russian missile attack overnight on the southern Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv killed at least one person and injured 23 others, including children, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Thursday. Russia “never ceases to prove that the main goal of this war is terror and the destruction of Ukrainians,” he said in a Telegram post sharing a video of the attack’s aftermath.
In Moscow, the Kremlin welcomed the first phone call between Zelensky and his Chinese counterpart, Xi Jinping, since the war began. “We are ready to welcome anything that may bring the end of the conflict in Ukraine closer,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov. However, he added that the call remains the “sovereign business of each of these countries, and absolutely a question of their bilateral dialogue.” The White House also expressed cautious optimism over the call.
