At Least 18 Killed in Major Russian Attack on the Center of Kyiv
Despite a major air assault killing at least 15, including children, Russia insists on continuing peace negotiations amid stalled diplomatic efforts, officials said.
- Russia's forces launched a mass strike on Kyiv on Thursday, firing 598 strike drones and 31 missiles that killed at least 18 and damaged European Union diplomatic offices.
- With peace talks stalled, Thursday's attack was the first major combined drone-and-missile strike on Kyiv since President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin earlier this month.
- Russia's Defense Ministry said it targeted military-industrial facilities and air bases using Kinzhal missiles, drones and precision weapons, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov denied deliberate civilian targeting.
- Following the strikes, Western capitals summoned Russian envoys, and Britain said the attack sabotaged peace efforts as British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the strikes as senseless.
- Ukraine's military said it used drones to strike two Russian oil refineries overnight, Russia confirmed one fire was extinguished, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said no ceasefire exists and urged discreet talks, while President Volodymyr Zelensky called for harsher U.S. sanctions if Putin lacks seriousness.
