Assassination attempts on Volodymyr Zelenskyy

This is the first official data in more than a year.
Zelensky said at a press conference in Kyiv that he could not disclose the number of wounded because it would "help Russian military planning", reported Reuters.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky talked with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Minister Lloyd Austin, who arrived in Kyiv last night.

United States diplomats will begin a gradual return to Ukraine this week, Washington's secretary of state and defence chief said on April 25, as they announced $700 million in military aid during their first war-time visit to Kyiv.

A showdown looms in Ukraine as Russia appointed a new military commander and looked to concentrate its attacks on the eastern part of the country, while Ukraine's president said his troops will hold their ground, and urged Western leaders, in particular President Joe Biden, to do more.
