Russian strike on Kyiv kills 1, injures 22 after Putin agrees to resume talks

Russia and Ukraine struck each other's capitals soon after Putin and Zelenskyy both signaled willingness to restart US-mediated talks, and Al Jazeera reports one person died and 22 were hurt in Kyiv.

Posted Updated (11 d ago)

Russian attacks on Kyiv killed one person and injured 22, Al Jazeera reports. Ukraine says "appeasement" will not end the war. Deutsche Welle reports that Russia and Ukraine traded major strikes on each other's capitals soon after both leaders said they were willing to resume US-mediated talks.

The talks offer followed a meeting on Wednesday between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US special envoy Steve Witkoff in St. Petersburg. PBS NewsHour reports a Kremlin official said Putin agreed to restart three-way negotiations with Washington and Kyiv. BBC News and France 24 also report that Russia is ready to resume the talks.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine supports a US proposal for three-way talks at the level of negotiators, France 24 reports. He wants them held as soon as possible, preferably by early November.

CBS News reports Witkoff said he hopes Ukraine will be included. CBS also says Moscow appears to be holding to its maximalist demands. Grégoire Roos of Chatham House told France 24 it is not clear whether Putin would meet Trump and Zelenskyy.

The Hill reports Witkoff is facing criticism from lawmakers for calling Putin a "humanitarian". The remark was about the release of Stephen James Hubbard, an American held in Russia for years. The Hill describes him as a teacher accused of being a Ukrainian mercenary. It says President Donald Trump had appealed directly to Putin for his release.

Witkoff landed in St. Petersburg on Wednesday morning, a Kremlin aide confirmed, ABC News reports. The Guardian reports he had met Zelenskyy in Norway the day before, along with the leaders of Norway and Finland. CNBC reports Zelenskyy said Washington had reaffirmed its commitment to security guarantees for Ukraine.
