Ukraine-Russia war live: Putin’s forces strike Zelensky’s home city as Biden declares Russia will not prevail
US president Joe Biden insists Ukraine will win the war and Putin ‘will not prevail’
Russia has fired a missile on Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih, striking a police department and injuring at least three people, local emergency officials have reported.
The attack partially destroyed the five-storey building of the district department of the Main Directorate of the National Police in the Dnipropetrovsk region, the emergency services said, as well as damaging some private residences nearby.
More people were likely to be under the rubble, they added.
It comes as Mr Biden, ahead of a meeting with Mr Zelensky in the White House, said Russia “will not prevail” in its war on Ukraine.
“We stand with Ukraine, now and in the future,” Mr Biden said alongside Mr Zelensky. “Russia will not prevail. Ukraine will prevail.”
Mr Biden also pledged to support Kyiv “in its path to membership to both the EU and Nato”, though he stopped short of green-lighting Ukraine’s request to fire long-range missiles deeper into Russia.
Zelensky thanked the US for its “unwavering bipartisan support”.
