Russian strike on Kyiv kills one hours before Oleshky truce

Russian strikes on Kyiv killed one person and wounded eight late Monday, with ballistic missiles hitting a university campus and damaging medical facilities, according to Ukrainian officials. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the attack targeted crowded areas with no military facilities nearby. The strikes came hours before a truce was due to begin in Russian-occupied Oleshky, aimed at allowing humanitarian aid into the city facing dire shortages of food, water and medicine. No end date or monitoring arrangements for the ceasefire have been announced, with Russia agreeing to halt fire in the Kherson sector. Zelenskyy also said Ukraine has waited nearly a month for US defence secretary Pete Hegseth to approve missile supplies for Patriot and NASAMS systems. Separately, Romania reported a Russia-coordinated network was involved in a fire near an arms factory, part of a broader pattern of suspected Kremlin sabotage across Europe.
