Zelensky urges more pressure on Moscow after Russian missile strikes kill two in Kyiv

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reported that Russia launched 21 missiles, primarily targeting Kyiv, following US envoy Steve Witkoff's meeting with Vladimir Putin, resulting in two deaths and 34 injuries. Zelensky condemned the attacks as Russia's response to negotiations, urging increased pressure on Moscow through enhanced air defense, missile supplies, and sanctions. Meanwhile, President Trump expressed optimism about a peace deal, citing the release of US citizen Stephen Hubbard. Trump defended his decision to postpone new sanctions against Russia, arguing they would have hindered Hubbard's release. Witkoff described his talks with Putin as "constructive," with trilateral negotiations planned for mid-November.
