Russian missile strikes wound five in Kyiv as Ukraine, Russia, US prepare talks

At least five people were injured in Kyiv from explosions caused by Russian missiles, as Ukraine prepares for new talks with Russia and the United States next week. The Russian missiles that struck the Ukrainian capital overnight damaged homes and commercial properties, closed traffic on a Kyiv bridge over the Dnipro River, and caused new power and water outages, according to national and municipal authorities. Negotiators from Russia, Ukraine, and the US will meet on Tuesday in Abu Dhabi for talks aimed at ending the war. Ukrainian drones also hit a refinery and a military electronics factory in western Russia overnight, with local officials confirming fires and damage. This new round of negotiations would be the fourth mediated by the Trump administration, following the most recent one in Geneva in February.
