Russia launches deadly aerial assault on Ukrainian capital amid major prisoner swap

# Russia launched a deadly aerial assault on the Ukrainian capital Kyiv using missiles and drones for a second night in a row, as the two sides carried out an exchange of hundreds of prisoners of war. CNN reports three people were killed in attacks on the Ukrainian capital region overnight into Sunday, a day after officials reported at least 13 dead across Ukraine after Russian attacks. The onslaught on the capital comes as international pressure mounts on Russian president Vladimir Putin to accept a ceasefire proposal and end his more than three-year war.
