Rescuers work at the site of a residential building heavily damaged by a Russian missile in Uman, Ukraine on Friday, April 28. President Volodymyr Zelensky offered condolences to the victims' families and said the missile attacks underlined the country's need for modern military aircraft. Deported children: Zelensky says he appealed to his Chinese counterpart, President Xi Jinping, this week for help returning Ukrainian children who were deported by Russia. The Russian Foreign Ministry on Thursday said it rejected the request in response to Washington’s denial of visas to Russian reporters accompanying Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s visit to the United Nations this week. He said Friday he had discussed the issue with the President of the EU Council, Charles Michel.
