Russia Strikes Kyiv With Ballistic Missiles Ahead of Abu Dhabi Peace Talks

Russia launched a ballistic missile attack on Kyiv early Saturday, damaging residential buildings and injuring two people, just three days before US-led peace talks in Abu Dhabi. Mayor Vitali Klitschko reported explosions in the capital's suburbs. Debris struck a five-story residential building west of the city and damaged another facade, plus a building housing a daycare. Authorities warned residents of further attacks for hours after the initial blasts, as the threat was not fully dissipated. The attack followed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy's warnings that Moscow was planning strikes on energy facilities, bridges, and other infrastructure. The talks in Abu Dhabi mark the first negotiations since a February round, as the conflict enters its fifth year.
