Russia struck Kyiv early Thursday, killing two people, including a teenager, just hours before British Prime Minister Keir Starmer arrived for a meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky.

The attack hit two districts of Kyiv, causing fires at warehouses and nearby vehicles. Starmer and Zelensky are set to discuss progress made in the war against Russia, including the UK’s efforts to support Ukraine both militarily and diplomatically.
Ukraine has been making gains in the war, with a successful ballistic missile test and a drone campaign that has had a significant impact on Russian forces. However, the country is still feeling the pain of the war, with June being the deadliest month for Ukrainian civilians since April 2022.
Zelensky has repeatedly pleaded with allies to provide more support in bolstering Ukraine’s depleted air defenses, including the potential production of Patriot interceptors.
