Russian Missile Attack on Kyiv Kills Two After US Envoy's Meetings

A Russian missile attack on Kyiv killed two people and injured 34, including five children, shortly after US envoy Steve Witkoff met with Ukrainian and Russian leaders. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said three waves of ballistic missiles hit the capital, damaging power plants, medical facilities, shopping centers, and residential areas. He argued the attack proves peace talks have not changed Russia's stance, calling for stronger air defenses and sanctions. The strike followed Witkoff's praise of Putin as "humanitarian" for releasing American Stephen Hubbard. Ukraine's foreign minister condemned the attack, saying "flattery will not stop this war." At least seven others were killed in strikes on Sumy, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Donetsk.
