The attacks underscore the continuing escalation of the Russia-Ukraine war even as diplomatic efforts seek to restart negotiations. Russia reportedly struck Kyiv with three cluster-warhead ballistic missiles, while extensive attacks affected the Kharkiv region; Ukraine also launched a large drone operation toward Moscow. The violence followed talks between US envoy Steve Witkoff and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with Moscow saying it was prepared to resume negotiations with Ukraine next month.[1][2]
