"Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected an offer from Russia's Vladimir Putin to travel to Moscow for peace talks and instead challenged him to come to Kyiv. "He can come to Kyiv," Zelenskyy told ABC News on September 6. "I can't go to Moscow when my country's under missiles, under attack, each day. I can't go to the capital of this terrorist.""
"The September 7 attack on Kyiv's Cabinet of Ministers building was part of Russia's biggest aerial assault on the Ukrainian capital since February 2022, Ukrainian officials said. Russia fired some 800 drones and missiles at Kyiv, Ukrainian officials said, killing at least three people. Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said an infant child, a young woman, and an elderly woman were killed, and over a dozen people were injured. Klitschko added that several high-rise apartments had been set on fire in the capital by falling debris from Russian drones."
