Kyiv Under Attack Again as Deadly Strikes Continue in Eastern Europe
The situation in Eastern Europe has taken a deadly turn once again, with Russia launching a series of strikes against Ukraine, killing six people in Kyiv. The overnight attacks on the Ukrainian capital left several more wounded and sent shockwaves throughout the region.
Eyewitnesses report that the drone strikes targeted various parts of the city, including an apartment building in the Dniprovsky quarter where at least two people lost their lives. Four others died in a different part of the Sviatoshynskyi district, with three more injured. Emergency services confirmed the fatalities and reported multiple casualties.
This latest wave of violence comes as diplomatic efforts to end the conflict continue in Abu Dhabi, where US Army Secretary Dan Driscoll held talks with both Russian and Ukrainian officials. The three-way negotiations, which began on Monday, aim to narrow the gaps between US and Ukrainian officials over President Donald Trump's 28-point peace plan for Ukraine.
However, it appears that progress remains elusive, as Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov remained tight-lipped about the discussions. He stated that Moscow had "nothing to say" regarding Driscoll's talks with Russian delegates in Abu Dhabi, adding that they were only interested in discussing America's own "Trump project," which Peskov believed could serve as a basis for negotiations.
French President Emmanuel Macron echoed similar sentiments when speaking about Trump's peace plan. While he acknowledged the importance of finding a solution to the conflict, Macron emphasized that Ukraine's security guarantees would be paramount. To achieve this, Macron proposed an international "reassurance force" comprising French, British, and Turkish soldiers to support Ukrainian troops.
In another development, Russia claimed to have downed 249 Ukrainian drones during overnight attacks on various parts of the country. Meanwhile, three people were killed and ten more injured in a separate drone attack on Russia's Rostov region.
The ongoing conflict continues to claim lives and disrupt daily life for civilians caught in the crossfire. With diplomatic efforts struggling to make headway, it remains to be seen when a lasting peace will be achieved in Eastern Europe.
