According to Reuters, Russia launched ballistic missiles against Kyiv early Tuesday, shortly after U.S. peace negotiators left the region, killing at least three people and injuring six. Other outlets reporting today describe continued Russian attacks across Ukraine, including damage to civilian infrastructure and additional casualties, underscoring that the war remains the most urgent global flashpoint this morning. The timing of the strike, coming immediately after a diplomatic visit, heightens its significance because it signals both escalation on the ground and the fragility of any near-term peace effort.
