Kyiv was targeted by multiple Russian missile strikes on Wednesday, hours after Russia indicated its willingness to resume peace talks with Ukraine and the United States.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky attributed the three waves of missile attacks to "Russian humanitarians." This statement followed remarks by US envoy Steve Witkoff, who referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin as a "humanitarian" after a meeting in St. Petersburg on the same day.
Russia had earlier announced that it was "ready in principle" to recommence peace negotiations. The BBC reported on the aftermath of the strikes, noting a destroyed retail park in the capital.
