Kyiv came under missile attack Thursday, prompting local authorities to issue shelter-in-place warnings to residents. The attack occurred shortly after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy held discussions with both former US President Donald Trump and European leaders regarding potential peace negotiations. Details of the discussions with Trump have not been released, but Zelenskyy has been actively seeking international support for a resolution to the ongoing conflict. Ukrainian officials have not yet disclosed the extent of the damage or casualties resulting from the missile strikes. This latest attack underscores the continued volatility of the situation in Ukraine despite diplomatic efforts. The timing of the attack, coinciding with Zelenskyy’s outreach to key international figures, raises questions about Russia’s commitment to de-escalation.
