Russian Barrage of Strikes Hits Kyiv and Kharkiv

Russian forces launched a barrage of air strikes on Ukraine, primarily targeting Kyiv and Kharkiv, resulting in at least one death and 15 injuries. In Kyiv, attacks with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ballistic missiles were reported, while in Kharkiv, strikes with Iranian-made Shahed drones hit homes and healthcare facilities. These attacks occurred as delegations from Ukraine, Russia, and the United States are in Abu Dhabi for peace talks. According to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy, the main point of contention in the negotiations remains the territorial issue, with Russia demanding the cession of the Donbas region. Simultaneously, Ukraine's energy grid has suffered significant damage, causing widespread power and heating outages.
