Russia launches aerial attack on Kyiv, Ukrainian capital’s mayor says

Ukraine’s air defense units are trying to repel a Russian air attack on Kyiv, the city’s mayor says, after Ukraine’s air force warned of a drone attack on the capital.

The attack comes hours after Russia’s President Vladimir Putin proposed direct talks with Ukraine on May 15 in Istanbul, which he says should be aimed at bringing a durable peace.

Reuters witnesses hear blasts in Kyiv from what sounds like air defense units in operation.
