KYIV, Ukraine
\nRussia missiles struck the Ukrainian capital Kyiv on Sunday, a day after a key eastern city fell to pro-Russian forces in a major set-back for Ukraine and as world leaders gathered in Europe to discuss further sanctions against Moscow.
\nAs Europe\u2019s biggest land conflict since World War Two entered its fifth month the Western alliance supporting Kyiv was starting to show signs of strain. Britain on Saturday said it believed Ukraine could win, but feared it may be pressured into a \u201cbad\u201d peace deal.
\nRussian missiles hit Kyiv\u2019s central Shevchenkivskiy district on Sunday morning, partially destroying a nine-storey apartment building and causing a fire, the city\u2019s mayor Vitali Klitschko said on the Telegram messaging app.
\n\u201cThere are people under the rubble,\u201d Klitschko said. He added that several people had already been hospitalised.
\n\u201cThey (the rescuers) have pulled out a seven-year-old girl. She is alive. Now they\u2019re trying to rescue her mother.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
