Russian missile and drone strikes on Kyiv kill one, wound 22 after peace talks agreement

independent.co.uk —

Russian attacks on Kyiv with ballistic missiles and drones killed one person and wounded 22, Ukrainian authorities said, hours after the Kremlin agreed to resume U.S.-brokered peace talks. The overnight strikes damaged homes, transportation infrastructure and civilian sites across several districts, with one death and six injuries, including a child, reported in the Dniprovskyi district. The attacks followed Russia’s agreement “in principle” to restart three-way negotiations with the U.S. and Ukraine after Nov. 10. Kremlin adviser Yuri Ushakov confirmed the talks, which came after President Vladimir Putin met U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy backed the push but expressed caution, saying “We’ll see what happens this time” before missile alerts sounded.
