Russia attacks Ukraine one day after peace talks with US

Russia pounded Ukraine’s capital Kyiv with missiles and drones on Tuesday morning, killing three people, one day after US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited the region in an attempt to kickstart stalled peace talks.

Explosions rang out in the city early Tuesday local time, according to a CNN reporter in Kyiv, in a signal the agreed three day-halt on attacks as Washington’s emissaries visited both country’s capitals was over. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the assault was “complex” and designed by Russia to “cause as much harm to life as possible.”
