Russia launched a large drone and missile attack on Kyiv early Saturday, injuring six and damaging buildings across the city as the next stage of a prisoner swap begins.

The first direct Ukraine-Russia talks did not deliver a ceasefire but it did result in the largest prisoner swap of the war. CHERNIHIV REGION, Ukraine — For hours Friday, a crowd of hopefuls stood on the roadside wrapped in blue-and-yellow flags and clutching photos of captured Ukrainian soldiers — their eyes peeled for any sign of buses.

A phone call between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin included talk of a prisoner swap involving nine Americans and nine Russians, a report said.

The nighttime Russian attack that stretched into early Saturday came hours after Russia and Ukraine began a major prisoner exchange.
