Russia Escalates Missile Strikes on Ukraine Amidst Diplomatic Overtures

Russia launched multiple waves of missile and drone strikes across Ukraine, including Kyiv, resulting in at least 7 confirmed fatalities and numerous injuries, hours after signaling readiness for peace talks.

The sustained targeting of civilian infrastructure and urban centers underscores Russia's intent to maintain military pressure despite peace signals.
