"Russian forces attacked the Ukrainian capital with missiles early on Tuesday, officials said, with initial reports saying apartment blocks and other buildings had suffered damage. Witnesses reported loud explosions in Kyiv and said missiles and drones were being deployed. Several apartment buildings, an education establishment and a commercial building had been damaged in districts east of the Dnipro River, Kyiv military administration chief, Tymur Tkachenko, said on Telegram. Mayor Vitali Klitschko ordered emergency medical crews to affected parts of the capital."
"Russian missiles and drones were also attacking Ukraine's second city of Kharkiv in the north-east, mayor Ihor Terekhov said. The governor of south-eastern Dnipropetrovsk region said his region was also under attack and anti-aircraft units were in action in neighbouring Zaporizhzhia region. Donald Trump said earlier that his administration may have some good news soon on its push to end the war in Ukraine."
"Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday that Russia had largely observed a temporary ceasefire on Ukraine's energy infrastructure. Russia had not carried out any targeted missile or drone strikes on the infrastructure in the past 24 hours but steady Russian shelling had hit energy facilities near the front line, the Ukrainian president said. The de-escalation measures ... are helping to build public trust in the negotiation process and its possible outcome."
