Russia resumes strikes on Kyiv after three-day halt

Two people were killed and at least 10 injured as Russian drones and missiles hit Kyiv after a three-day pause tied to U.S. envoy visits.

  • Late Monday, Russia resumed drone attacks on Kyiv following a three-day pause that coincided with the visit of US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to the region.
  • Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the temporary suspension of strikes on Kyiv to facilitate diplomatic efforts by Witkoff and Kushner, though Moscow continued broader military operations elsewhere in Ukraine.
  • The State Emergency Service of Ukraine reported that drones struck the Boryspil and Fastiv districts, destroying seven trucks and igniting fires at industrial facilities in Boryspil.
  • Reflecting on the envoys' visit, President Zelensky joked about their security effect, telling Witkoff and Kushner, "Today, you worked even better than the Patriot systems."
  • Witkoff highlighted progress in the meetings, raising the prospect of reviving trilateral peace negotiations involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States despite the renewed strikes.
