US EditionUkraine Says Russia Launched a Major Aerial Attack Before Kyiv’s Talks with US
Russia launched about 420 drones and 39 missiles striking eight Ukrainian regions, with most intercepted by air defenses, causing dozens of injuries including children, officials said.
- Russia launched an overnight barrage of 420 drones and 39 missiles, hours before U.S. and Ukrainian envoys were due to meet in Geneva as the war enters its fifth year.
- Talks in Geneva aimed to cover a postwar recovery plan and trilateral preparations, with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner scheduled to meet Rustem Umerov.
- Including 11 ballistic missiles, the barrage struck gas infrastructure in the Poltava region and electrical substations in Kyiv and Dnipropetrovsk, while Ukraine's air defenses shot down most missiles with help from Western partners.
- Dozens, including children, were injured as emergency crews responded in five regions and the capital, while Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha urged allied countries for more foreign military aid.
- The strike's timing may complicate preparations for an upcoming trilateral meeting, as Ukrainian and European officials accused President Vladimir Putin of feigning interest in peace talks while the U.S.-brokered talks remain deadlocked on the future of Ukrainian territory.
