Russia launched a massive missile and drone attack on Kyiv yesterday (December 27), killing two people and injuring 46, just hours before scheduled peace talks between Ukrainian and U.S. leaders in Florida today. The assault marks one of the longest air raid alerts in the capital this year, lasting nearly 10 hours. 🚨
Attack Details & Impact
Russian forces used Kinzhal hypersonic missiles and drones to strike energy infrastructure and military-industrial sites, though residential buildings were also hit. Over 500,000 residents in Kyiv and surrounding areas lost electricity, with repairs ongoing this morning. Ukrainian Energy Minister Artem Nekrasov called it 'a deliberate attempt to freeze civilian life.' ❄️⚡
What’s Next?
All eyes are now on Florida, where Ukrainian and U.S. leaders will meet at 3 p.m. local time today to discuss next steps. This attack – occurring barely 24 hours before negotiations – raises urgent questions about Russia’s commitment to diplomacy. 🌐🤝
