Russian strikes kill 8 in Ukraine despite pause; US envoys arrive for talks

Russian attacks killed 8 and injured 69 in Ukraine over the past day, with fires reported in the Kyiv region but no direct hits on the capital, consistent with a declared pause on strikes against capitals. US envoys Witkoff and Kushner are set to arrive for peace talks, marking a diplomatic push amid ongoing hostilities. The pause appears partially observed, but strikes continue elsewhere, underscoring fragile conditions for negotiations.
