KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia has stepped up its missile and drone attacks against Ukraine, killing students and other civilians, in a violent followup to dueling high-level diplomatic missions aimed at bringing peace after 13 months of war. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy shared a video of what he said was a Russian missile slamming into an apartment building in the southeastern city of Zaporizhzhia. At least one person was killed. Elsewhere, Moscow’s forces launched exploding drones before dawn, killing at least eight people in or near a student dormitory near Kyiv. The attacks occurred as two dueling diplomatic missions were winding down. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida left Kyiv after meeting Zelenskyy. Chinese leader Xi Jinping left Moscow after meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
