Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said 10 people had been injured in last night's attacks on Kyiv, while falling debris in one district caused fires at a five-story apartment building and a three-story residential block.
The attack was the first since Russia briefly suspended its air attacks for the visit of U.S. peace negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, who arrived in Kiev on Sunday for their first official visit in a renewed push by the U.S. to end the war between Russia and Ukraine, which began in February of 2022.
Witkoff and Kushner came straight from Moscow, where they spent several hours on Saturday meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to the New York Times.
Prior to the talks, Russia had stepped up its air attacks on Kiev and the nearby areas to nearly round-the-clock bombardment for several days using faster jet-propelled drones.
The Russian Defense Ministry confirmed it hit military and logistic targets in Kiev and the surrounding region today, as well as in the Black Sea port of Chornomorsk.
