Russia attacks Kyiv with ballistic missiles hours after peace talks end

Following U.S.-brokered peace talks in Abu Dhabi, Russia launched ballistic missiles at Kyiv, resulting in explosions. The negotiations ended without significant progress, and Ukraine's Air Force had warned of incoming missiles shortly before the attacks. Ongoing assaults on Kyiv and other cities have targeted energy and transportation infrastructure, particularly as winter approaches. Despite hopes for de-escalation from the talks, the only outcome was a prisoner exchange.
