Kyiv

Kyiv is the capital of Ukraine and has been a focal point in the ongoing conflict with Russia since 2018. The city remains under threat from Russian missile and drone strikes, which have resulted in casualties and injuries among its residents. Recent attacks on Kyiv have killed at least four people and wounded several others. Despite these challenges, Kyiv receives significant support from international allies who are pushing for sanctions against Russia to pressure Moscow into ceasing hostilities. European leaders, including Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, convened meetings to bolster support for Ukraine as winter approaches, recognizing the strategic importance of the conflict in shaping future collective security. Additionally, Ukraine has retaliated with drone attacks on Russian territory, causing disruptions such as blackouts and air-raid sirens in regions close to Kyiv.
