Following a visit by U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to Kyiv, Russia launched ballistic and cruise missile attacks on the Ukrainian capital on Tuesday. The strikes damaged residential buildings in two districts, trapping people inside and causing fires, including at an educational facility. These attacks occurred as a three-day ceasefire, agreed upon before the envoys' visit, expired. Witkoff and Kushner met with Ukrainian officials in Kyiv on Sunday and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Moscow on Saturday as part of the Trump administration's efforts to resume stalled peace negotiations. Despite the attacks, Witkoff stated that substantive progress was made towards scheduling additional trilateral talks for a lasting peace.
