Russian Missiles Strike Kyiv After US Envoys Depart

Russia resumed airstrikes on Kyiv early Tuesday with ballistic missiles shortly after U.S. peace negotiators departed, injuring six people and causing fires across the capital, according to Mayor Vitali Klitschko. The attacks damaged residential buildings and prompted Poland to begin military aviation operations to protect its airspace. The strikes followed the departure of U.S. envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff after their Sunday meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, part of the Trump administration's renewed push to end Russia's 4-1/2 year war. The envoys had arrived from talks in Moscow, where the Kremlin did not rule out resuming three-way negotiations. In a related development, Ukrainian drones struck civilian infrastructure in the Russian city of Saratov, injuring people, according to the regional governor. The area hosts a large Rosneft oil refinery and other industrial and military facilities.
