Russia attacked Kyiv’s infrastructure before Zelensky’s peace talks, sparking global concern.

Russia launched missile and drone strikes on Kyiv overnight, targeting energy infrastructure and civilian areas, just hours before Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was scheduled to meet with former US President Barack Obama. President Donald Trump visited Florida. Ukrainian forces successfully repelled the attacks, but the damage raised concerns about power supplies and safety. The timing has sparked international concern, with some seeing the assault as an attempt to influence upcoming peace talks. Despite the ongoing military escalation, both sides continue to prepare for diplomatic talks.
