KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian attacks on Ukraine's capital with
ballistic missiles and drones overnight into Thursday killed one
person and wounded 22, Ukrainian authorities said. The strikes
in Kyiv came hours after the Kremlin agreed to restart
U.S.-brokered talks aimed at ending the war.
The attack damaged homes, transportation infrastructure and
other civilian sites in several districts of the city, Ukraine’s
State Emergency Service said. In the Dniprovskyi district, on
the eastern bank of the Dnipro River, one person was killed and
six were wounded, including a child, as fires broke out.
On Wednesday, Kremlin foreign affairs adviser Yuri Ushakov said
that Russian President Vladimir Putin agreed “in principle” to
resume three-way negotiations involving Russia, the United
States and Ukraine after Nov. 10, a week after the U.S. midterm
election. Putin had met with U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff in St.
Petersburg.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy backed the push for new
talks, but was cautious.
“We’ll see what happens this time,” he said shortly before
missile alerts sounded over Kyiv.
