Early Tuesday, Russia intensified its assault on Ukraine’s capital, Kyiv, targeting residential areas and energy infrastructure. According to video evidence and local officials, a residential building in the central Pechersk district and another in the eastern Dniprovskyi district sustained severe damage. Mayor Vitalii Kitschko confirmed the incidents, while footage on Telegram depicted a massive fire engulfing multiple floors of a nine-story building in Dniprovskyi. At least four individuals were injured, as reported by Kyiv city administration head Tymor Tkachenko. Ukraine’s energy ministry acknowledged strikes on energy infrastructure but did not provide details on the extent of the damage. This aggressive move by Russia followed recent discussions between U.S. and Ukrainian representatives in Geneva regarding a U.S.-Russia mediated peace plan. Oleksandr Bevz, a Ukrainian delegate, described the talks as “very constructive,” noting progress on most issues. However, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on Monday that Russia had not yet reviewed the updated peace proposal.
