Russia resumes Kyiv strikes after three-day truce, killing two

Russia resumed airstrikes on Kyiv overnight Monday into Tuesday, killing at least two people and wounding seven, after a three-day pause tied to a visit by US envoys. The attack, the first on the capital in three nights, followed the expiry of a reciprocal truce announced by Moscow and Kyiv during the visit of US emissaries Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Air raid alerts were lifted by morning, with Poland also putting its air forces on standby. Witkoff said the tour yielded "substantial progress" toward tripartite talks, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Vladimir Putin signaled readiness for "de-escalation" negotiations this winter, potentially suspending strikes on strategic sectors like energy and grain.
