Russia pounds Kyiv with deadly attack as President Volodymyr Zelensky slams US suggestion he should give up territory to end the war - and Moscow suffers "Vietnam" style casualties

Russia's relentless missile and drone attacks on Ukraine continued overnight as President Zelensky slammed US suggestions his country should give up territory.

A drone hit a Kyiv apartment block, killing one and injuring five as Zelensky arrived in Dublin ahead of talks to end the war with US envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff.

But hours after the night raid on Kyiv NATO said Russia is losing “Vietnam-style” number of troops to death or injury in brutal frontline fighting and Moscow is suffering a man-power shortage.

Kyiv was also hit by Russian ballistic missiles overnight as both sides try to demonstrate they can win the war during ongoing talks to end it.

Speaking before tomorrow’s meeting, as the Washington team arrived in Moscow for talks with Putin, Zelensky admonished the US for even suggesting giving ground.

Zelensky said: “The American side very often raises the topic of Donbas, part of our Ukrainian land.

“They think that to end this war, we have to leave our territory. It’s impossible to talk this way with us, with an independent, sovereign country.”

His blunt statement was issued in the wake of inconclusive talks in Abu Dhabi directly between Ukraine and Russian delegates, made up mostly of spies and diplomats.
