“Russia Hits Kyiv with Missiles Hours After Putin Agrees to Resume Talks with Ukraine” — what this page in the network covers. Russian forces launched a major missile attack on Kyiv overnight, killing at least two people and injuring 22, including four children, just hours after President Vladimir Putin said he had agreed to resume trilateral negotiations following talks with US envoy Steve Witkoff. The strikes damaged the southern bridge over the Dnipro River, residential buildings, energy facilities, an ambulance station, offices, and a monastery.

The bombardment underscores the Kremlin's pattern of combining talks with military escalation, leaving Ukraine's allies to question the sincerity of any negotiated settlement.
