Caption: Russian Strikes Hit Odesa As Von Der Leyen Arrives In Kyiv. Russian missile and drone strikes killed at least three people in Odesa as European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv. Odesa Governor Oleh Kiper said Russia launched a fifth consecutive day of attacks, accusing Moscow of deliberately targeting civilians and critical infrastructure. A missile hit a residential high-rise, killing three people and injuring at least three others, while rescue workers saved three residents, including two children. Ukrainian authorities said emergency crews remain at the scene as investigators document what they describe as Russian war crimes. Russia said it had targeted military-industrial facilities in Kyiv and port infrastructure near Odesa used to support Ukraine's military. Moscow has intensified attacks on Ukraine's Black Sea ports, threatening infrastructure vital to the country's exports and economy. Von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv for her 11th wartime visit to discuss closer defence industry cooperation between the EU and Ukraine. The talks will also focus on Ukraine's EU membership bid and preparations for another winter of Russian attacks. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
