<h1>Russian missile kills 28 civilians in apartment building attack as prisoner exchanges continue</h1> A Russian missile strike on a nine-story apartment building in the Ukrainian capital killed 28 people and wounded 142 others in the deadliest assault on the city this year. The Ukrainian president called for increased international pressure on Russia to agree to a ceasefire, stating the attack demonstrates Russia's rejection of peace efforts. The strike was part of a larger bombardment involving over 440 drones and 32 missiles. Meanwhile, prisoner exchanges continue between both countries, with Ukrainian POWs who had been held for over three years being repatriated due to severe health issues from prolonged detention.
