KEY POINTS

  • •Russia launched missile and drone strikes on Kyiv early Tuesday, causing fires, power outages, and killing at least two people.
  • •Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko noted the explosions began shortly after 1 a.m., warning that people might remain trapped under rubble.
  • •The bombing coincided with reported progress on President Trump’s 28-point Ukraine peace plan during Geneva talks involving U.S. and Ukrainian officials.
  • •Ukrainian President Zelensky acknowledged parts of Trump’s plan positively but stressed the ongoing threat from Russia and the seriousness of air raid alerts.

On the 1,371st chilly day of Putin's grand 'peace plan' fireworks, Kyiv woke up to explosions just past 1 a.m., courtesy of Russian missiles that promised free bedtime drama. Mayor Vitali Klitschko—yes, the boxing champ moonlighting as city mayor—reported fires, power outages, and at least two casualties, plus mysterious rubble guests possibly uninvited. Meanwhile, across the Geneva Zoom skyline, U.S. and Ukrainian officials squabble amicably over Trump’s 28-point plan, which basically means 'let’s not join NATO but still get protection' while Russia picks and chooses land, immunity passes for war crime suspects included. Zelensky logged onto X like a diplomatic influencer, praising the plan’s highlights and reminding everyone that blinking during air raid alerts might kill you.
