Ukraine-Russia war latest: Trump says ‘good news’ coming on peace talks even as Putin rains missiles on Kyiv
Explosions rang out in Kyiv on Monday night as the Ukrainian capital came under its first major attack in over a week, shattering a temporary pause on strikes targeting energy infrastructure and major cities.
Air raid alerts were in effect across Ukraine, and at least four people were injured in Kyiv after a kindergarten was set on fire and several apartment blocks were damaged.
The resumption of attacks on the capital came after Donald Trump claimed he was expecting “good news” from trilateral peace talks aimed at ending the war.
Volodymyr Zelensky has said Ukrainian negotiators will travel to Abu Dhabi to meet Russian and American delegations for talks on Wednesday and Thursday, which were postponed from Sunday.
“I think we’re doing very well with Ukraine and Russia. For the first time, I’m saying that,” the US president told reporters in the Oval Office. “I think we’re going to, maybe, have some good news.”
