One person was killed in the capital, according to Tymur Tkachenko, head of the city’s military administration.
In the neighboring city of Fastiv, a man in his 70s also died, Mykola Kalashnyk said.
Russia has escalated its attacks on Ukraine as Kyiv and its allies seek to finalize a U.S.-brokered plan to end Europe’s deadliest conflict since World War II.
