Russia launched a major overnight missile attack on Kyiv on October 22, 2026, hours after agreeing in principle to resume trilateral peace negotiations involving Ukraine and the United States. The strikes killed at least two people and injured 22, including four children, according to The Guardian. Residential buildings, energy infrastructure, a monastery and an ambulance station were damaged. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy condemned the assault, arguing that Moscow’s actions demonstrated little commitment to peace. He urged Western allies to provide stronger air defences, including Patriot interceptors, and impose additional sanctions on Russia. (PC: AP)
