In the evening of April 28, the Russians launched a missile strike on Kyiv. The rocket hit a high-rise building in the central part of the city. At that moment, President Volodymyr Zelensky had a meeting with UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres in the capital. At the same time, in the United States, the House of Representatives voted in favor of a lend-lease law for Ukraine. This document must now be signed by US President Joe Biden. Also, Ukraine and Russia held the seventh exchange of prisoners ― 33 military and 12 civilians returned home.
