Russia resumes attacks on Kyiv after three days of truce
After a three-day pause for the visit of American emissaries, Russia has restarted bombardments on Kyiv, resulting in deaths and injuries.
Russia has resumed air strikes on Kyiv after a three-day pause, during which American emissaries Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner visited. The air incursions occurred last night, causing at least two deaths and seven injuries, according to local sources.
Ukrainian authorities have declared an air alert in response to the bombardments, which hit various buildings on the outskirts of the capital. Reports indicate that the attacks were carried out using ballistic missiles and drones, inflicting significant damage to civilian infrastructure, including schools and residential buildings.
In conjunction with the bombardments on Kyiv, Ukrainian forces also launched attacks on targets in Russia, with reports of damage to civilian infrastructure in Saratov. Sources have not confirmed the exact number of casualties in Russia, but reports indicate a significant impact.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had temporarily suspended attacks during the visit of American emissaries, a gesture that raised concerns about the continuity of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, hopes for a slowdown in hostilities were quickly dispelled with the resumption of offensives.
The British government has announced a £100 million military support package to enhance Ukraine's air defense, stating its intentions to provide further assistance. This action comes as the Ukrainian government continues to face intensified Russian offensives.
Discussions between Russian and Ukrainian delegations have taken place amid growing international attention on the crisis, but in the meantime, the explosions in Kyiv have forced the population to seek shelter as the situation remains tense and violence continues.
