A Russian overnight attack on October 22 struck 12 regions of Ukraine, killing two people and wounding 34, including five children, according to President Volodymyr Zelensky. The capital Kyiv was a primary target, hit by 21 missiles, with significant damage to residential buildings, energy facilities, a railway station, metro, shopping centers, and a monastery. Emergency services are working at the sites. The attack followed US-Russia talks, which Zelensky said shows no real change in Moscow's approach to peace initiatives. Ukraine's air force downed 181 of 210 drones launched overnight.
