(Roman Pilipey/AFP/Getty Images) By David L. Stern and Serhii Korolchuk KYIV — Russia unleashed a barrage of ballistic missiles on Kyiv early Friday, killing at least one person and injuring 12, city officials said. The attacks came as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was in Brussels, where Kyiv’s European allies are seriously considering the idea of deploying troops to Ukraine in the event of a deal with Russia to stop the war. Hours earlier, Zelensky had posted a tweet that called his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin a “dumbass” in response to the Russian leader’s mocking remarks in a year-end news conference about a missile “duel” with Ukraine’s allies.
