The Ukrainian capital was attacked “by enemy missiles” in the early hours, with flights of drones heard across the city by AFP journalists as residents hid in bomb shelters.
Of these, “38 of them, including six children, were hospitalised,“ he said, adding that the rest of the wounded were treated at the scene.
“Stay safe!” Terekhov said on Telegram.
The Ukrainian president's refusal to accept US terms for ending the conflict -- which began with Russia's full-scale invasion in 2022 -- “will do nothing but prolong the ‘killing field’,“ he said.
Ahead of Trump's broadside, Vice President JD Vance laid out the US vision for a peace deal where Russia would get to keep already occupied swaths of Ukraine, which include Crimea.
That in turn prompted an outburst from Trump, in which he accused Zelensky of being “inflammatory” and taking a position “very harmful to the Peace Negotiations with Russia.”
Trump said Crimea -- a lush Black Sea peninsula with longtime major Soviet and Russian naval facilities -- “was lost years ago” and “is not even a point of discussion.”
As Kyiv was bombarded with a Russian missile attack, Zelensky's top aide took to Telegram, saying “Russia is attacking Kyiv, Kharkiv and other cities with missiles and drones right now”.
'Freeze' Russia's gains
Intense US pressure on Ukraine to accept a deal comes after Trump regularly boasted on the campaign trail that he would resolve the conflict in 24 hours.
Meanwhile, on a trip to India, his deputy Vance gave the fullest public explanation of the US plan so far, saying the deal would “freeze the territorial lines at some level close to where they are today.”
Freezing the frontlines would mean Ukraine losing large areas to Russia.
It was time for Moscow and Kyiv “to either say ‘yes,‘ or for the United States to walk away from this process,“ Vance said.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said “Ukraine’s territorial integrity and European aspirations are very strong requirements for Europeans.”
Top Ukrainian officials wrapped up a round of talks in London on Wednesday with representatives from Britain, France, Germany and the United States.
The diplomatic wrangling and strikes on Kyiv came after a fresh wave of Russian air attacks that shattered a brief Easter truce, killing nine and wounding at least 30 more in the southeastern city of Marganets.
In light of the attacks, Zelensky has called for an “immediate, full and unconditional ceasefire.”
