Russia strikes Kiev with several waves of ballistic missiles hours after the Ukrainian proposal for negotiation

Russia launched multiple waves of ballistic missiles on Kyiv shortly after Ukraine proposed a ceasefire and a trilateral meeting with the U.S. and Russia. The attacks resulted in at least one death and numerous injuries, including children. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky criticized the Russian actions, highlighting the lack of genuine change in their approach. The missile strikes targeted various locations in Kyiv, damaging infrastructure and vehicles. Despite the ongoing violence, Zelensky remains committed to pursuing diplomatic solutions and has called for European involvement in peace talks. He expressed hope for a trilateral summit with U.S. and Russian leaders soon, potentially in early November.
