Ukraine's president, Volodemir Zelensky, met with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney today ahead of his expected meeting tomorrow with President Trump in Florida.

NPR's Joanna Kikis reports, despite the peace negotiations, Russia attacked Ukraine's

capital overnight, killing at least two people and injuring dozens.

Russia attacked Kiev and surrounding areas with hypersonic, ballistic, and cruise missiles,

as well as hundreds of strike drones.

Speaking to reporters via voice message, Zelensky said Russia showed what it thinks of

If the American side wants to hold a wartime referendum or elections, we cannot do it

on the latest peace proposal if security is guaranteed for voters. Zelensky said that security

guarantees are a main focus of talks with the Trump administration.
