Vladimir Putin is not preparing for peace and continues to slaughter Ukrainians despite talk of a ceasefire, Volodymyr Zelensky warned.
The Ukrainian president said Putin was still destroying cities and killing civilians after a Russian ballistic missile attack on Kyiv killed someone and injured four others.
It comes after US president Donald Trump said he had spoken to Putin over the phone and claimed the Russian leader wanted to end the nearly three-year-long conflict.
"He continues to kill Ukrainians and destroy cities. Right now, we need unity and support from all our partners in the fight for a just end to this war," Zelensky said.
Emergency services rushed to four districts of the Ukrainian capital on Wednesday after the missile smashed into the historic city.
Meanwhile, Zelensky offered to swap land seized in Russia's Kursk region for the return of occupied Ukrainian territory as part of potential peace negotiations led by Donald Trump.
"We will swap one territory for another," Zelensky said in an interview with the Guardian on Tuesday.

Ukrainian drones hit city near Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant, Russian officials claim

Ukrainian forces launched a drone attack on Wednesday on the city of Enerhodar near the Russian-held Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, the Moscow-installed regional governor said.
The plant's management said no safety violations were recorded.
"The radiation background at the site and in the observation area is normal," it said on the Telegram messaging app.
The drones hit a car park roughly 300 metres (yards) from one of the plant's reactors, Governor Yevgeny Balitsky wrote on Telegram.
News agency Reuters could not independently verify the report. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine.
Russian forces took control of the nuclear power plant, Europe's largest, soon after President Vladimir Putin sent his troops into Ukraine in 2022. All six reactor units are in "cold shutdown" to reduce the risk of a nuclear accident.
Russia and Ukraine regularly accuse each other of shelling the plant and the surrounding areas.
The UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has stationed permanent monitors at the site and urged both sides to refrain from attacking it.
IAEA chief Rafael Grossi warned last week that the number of attacks on the plant had increased, adding that it was impossible to determine which side was responsible based on studies of the drone fragments.

Following the pre-dawn Russian missile attack on Kyiv that killed at least one person and injured four, we’re now hearing more from Ukraine’s president Volodymyr Zelensky.
He said: "This Russian terror against Ukraine will not stop on its own. Putin is not preparing for peace - he continues to kill Ukrainians and destroy cities."
The attack comes amid hopes for renewed peace negotiations to end the war that Russia launched on Ukraine nearly three years ago.
Donald Trump said that he had been in contact with Kyiv and Putin over a potential deal with the Us president under pressure to bring down spending in the region.

As we’ve been reporting, Volodymyr Zelensky has offered to swap land seized in Russia's Kursk region for the return of occupied Ukrainian territory as part of potential peace negotiations led by Donald Trump.

Mr Medvedev, who served as Russia's president from 2008-2012, dismissed the proposal as “nonsense”.
He said Russia had shown that it can achieve "peace through strength", including through drone and missile strikes which hit Kyiv on Wednesday.

Palestinian family given right to live in UK through Ukrainian refugees scheme

A Palestinian family have been granted the right to live in the UK following an appeal, after they applied to enter the country through a scheme designed for Ukrainian refugees.
The family of six - comprising a mother, father and their four children who were aged 18, 17, eight and seven in September - were displaced after their Gaza home was destroyed by an airstrike in the Israel-Hamas war.
They applied for entry to the UK using the Ukraine Family Scheme to join the father's brother, who has lived in the UK since 2007 and is a British citizen, but this was refused in May last year after the Home Office concluded the requirements of the scheme were not met.
The family, who have been granted anonymity, had an appeal against the decision dismissed by a first-tier immigration tribunal judge in September.
A further appeal has been allowed by upper tribunal judges on the grounds of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects the right to family life, after a hearing in January.
Judge Hugo Norton-Taylor said in his judgment: "We conclude that the respondent's (Home Office's) refusal of the collective human rights claim does not, on the particular facts of these cases, strike a fair balance between the appellants' interests and those of the public."
The judge said the evidence shows the security and humanitarian situation in Gaza remains "exceptionally dangerous" and "dire".
A Home Office spokesman told The Daily Telegraph it had contested the claim "rigorously", adding: "The latter court ruled against us on the narrow facts of this specific case. Nevertheless, we are clear that there is no resettlement route from Gaza, and we will continue to contest any future claims that do not meet our rules."

A US schoolteacher who has been held in Russia since 2021 has been released, the White House has said.
White House national security adviser Mike Waltz said Marc Fogel had been picked up by Steve Witkoff, Trump's chief Middle East envoy, on Tuesday,
The development was described as a move in “the right direction” by Waltz, and comes as Trump seeks to set the foundation for peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
Fogel was sentenced to 14 years in prison for drug smuggling after he was detained in Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport in August 2021 with 17 grams of marijuana - which he said he uses for medical reasons - in his luggage.
“We are beyond grateful, relieved, and overwhelmed that after more than three years of detention, our father, husband, and son, Marc Fogel, is finally coming home," the Fogel family said in a statement.
Russian patriarch says 'weirdos' spreading paganism on Ukraine frontline

The head of Russia's powerful Orthodox Church claimed that "weirdos" were trying to spread paganism in the combat zone in Ukraine and called for efforts to counter attempts to weaken the church's influence there.
Patriarch Kirill, a close ally of president Vladimir Putin, who has backed Russia’s war in Ukraine, said: "I would like to draw the attention of priests who visit the combat zone to the emergence of neo-pagan sentiments among some military personnel.
"Who would have thought that in the 21st century 'weirdos' would appear on the territory of Holy Rus who would revive paganism?"
Holy Rus is an archaic name for Russia.
The Kremlin calls the invasion a "special military operation" to "denazify" Ukraine. Kirill sees it as a clash with a Western liberal culture he considers decadent, in particular in its acceptance of homosexuality.
The clergy, who see attempts to revive paganism in the combat zone, said, "should show special initiative in order to completely prevent the influence of neo-paganism on the consciousness of military personnel."
"The forces opposing Russia have engineered the conflict in Ukraine, intending to use it to weaken our country and the influence of the Russian Orthodox Church," Mr Kirill said without citing evidence.
He did not elaborate on what form of paganism was purportedly appearing on the frontlines.
Russia offers to make advanced stealth fighter jet for Indian Air Force

Russia has offered to make its fifth-generation stealth fighter jet in India and available to the Indian Air Force.
A spokesperson for Russian state arms exporter Rosoboronexport told reporters the Sukhoi Su-57 fighter jet could go into production as early as this year if the Indian government accepts its offer.
India's defence ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A Russian industry source and an Indian official said an informal offer had been made by Russia in talks with officials of the Indian government and state-owned planemaker Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd.
The move comes as the Indian Air Force is keen to shore up its fighter squadrons, which have fallen to 31 from a target of 42, at a time when rival China is expanding its own air force.
Making the aircraft in India, with a full transfer of technology, will ensure that production and maintenance will not be affected by Western sanctions on Russia, the Rosoboronexport spokesperson told reporters on the sidelines of the Aero India aerospace exhibition in the southern city of Bengaluru.

Ukraine begins recruitment drive for young men to serve in military

Ukraine's defence ministry has launched a new recruitment drive for young people, encouraging 18- to 24-year-olds to serve in the military for a year with lucrative offers.
Those signing up will be given the equivalent of about $24,000 and hefty bonuses.
With Ukraine's armed forces heavily outnumbered by their Russian adversaries on the frontlines of the nearly three-year-old war, president Volodymyr Zelensky last week confirmed a new recruitment drive was about to be launched.
Ukraine's parliament last year approved a new law on mobilisation, reducing the draft age from 27 to 25 and providing penalties for anyone avoiding the call-up.
"Change your life in a year," a slick video on social media tells young prospects against a background of soldiers taking up positions and firing weapons.
"If you are aged 18-24, are a Ukrainian citizen and are ready for change."
In addition to the promised remuneration of 1m hryvnias ($24,000), large bonuses were on offer plus subsidised mortgages and rents. The contract also offered a 12-month exemption from mobilisation at its conclusion.
"Time is a bonus," it says. "Hesitation is a minus."The posting on social media promised volunteers "professional military training to Nato standards and social benefits that you won't find in civilian jobs".

American schoolteacher Marc Fogel received a flag-waving welcome from US president Donald Trump at a snowy White House after a flight home after almost four years in Russian captivity.
"I feel like the luckiest man on earth right now," said Mr Fogel, an American flag draped around his shoulders. "I'm a middle-class school teacher who is now in a dream world.
"Mr Trump, standing alongside Mr Fogel in the White House Diplomatic Reception Room, said: "To me he looks damned good."
The release of 63-year-old Mr Fogel, who had been detained in Russia since August 2021 and was serving a 14-year sentence, came as Mr Trump seeks to improve relations with Moscow as part of an effort to secure an end to the war in Ukraine.
Mr Trump said Mr Fogel's release "could be a big important part" of ending the Ukraine war.
He and Mr Fogel both thanked Russian president Vladimir Putin for his release. "
"We just wanted to get him back home," Mr Trump said, adding that he would take Mr Fogel on a tour of the Lincoln Bedroom upstairs in the White House.
Mr Trump said another person would be released on Wednesday, without identifying who it would be.
He called the terms of Mr Fogel's release "very fair" and said the US had given up "not much" in exchange, but declined to give further details.

US treasury secretary Scott Bessent will travel to Ukraine this week to discuss a potential deal concerning rare earth minerals, according to a source familiar with his plans.
Mr Bessent will be the first cabinet-level official in US president Donald Trump's administration to visit Ukraine.
Both Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky and Mr Trump have expressed interest in a pact that would give the United States access to Ukraine's rare earth resources in exchange for continued support in fending off the Russian invasion.
The source, who requested anonymity as the plans were still confidential, did not offer additional details on the itinerary, according to Reuters.
The White House is yet to comment on the reports.
Rare earths are a group of metals used to make magnets that turn power into motion for electric vehicles, cell phones, missile systems, and other electronics. There are no viable substitutes, and demand is widely expected to grow.

In total, the U.N. says nearly 12,500 civilians have been killed in the war including 650 children - though it has repeatedly said its tally is an undercount since it only includes deaths its teams have managed to verify.
