KYIV – Ukraine fended off 36 Russian air attacks in and around the capital overnight while pro-Kyiv Russian fighters said they were battling Russian forces for a second day inside Russia, trading blame with Moscow for the deaths of two civilians. Russia has launched about 20 waves of attacks on Kyiv since the beginning of May, in a surge that Ukraine says appears aimed at derailing its preparations for a major counter-offensive to try to end Russia's invasion. A child was one of two people injured by falling debris in a region outside the Ukrainian capital as air defenses shot down what the air force said on Friday were 15 Russian cruise missiles and 21 drones.
