  "summary": "Russian missile strikes near Kyiv killed three people, including a child, on Saturday. Local authorities reported that the attack damaged apartment buildings, cars, and caused fires at several locations. The head of the regional military administration, Timur Tkachenko, said three others were wounded in the ballistic missile strikes.\n\nThe attacks occurred hours after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky arrived in Belgrade, Serbia, for a landmark visit. According to the BBC World, Zelensky is trying to build wider support for Ukraine, but Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić has refused to apply sanctions to Russia. Serbia is trying to join the EU and has provided aid to Ukraine, promising to help it rebuild after the war.\n\nZelensky and Vučić were set to discuss economic ties, relations with the EU, and security issues in Belgrade. The visit comes as Ukraine faces ongoing Russian attacks, with 21 people killed in strikes across the country just days earlier. Emergency crews were fighting fires at several locations in Kyiv, including a building and fuel tank, with the state emergency service DSNS sharing photos of the damage.",
