Recent events have seen a surge in deadly Russian attacks on Kyiv, resulting in multiple casualties and widespread disruption to power and water supplies. Over the course of ten hours, Russian forces unleashed a barrage of missiles and drones, leading to the deaths of at least seven civilians in the capital. These assaults coincide with increasing diplomatic efforts to broker peace, including a proposed meeting between U.S. representatives and Ukrainian officials. Despite the push for negotiations, the onslaught has raised fears as NATO countries remain on high alert. As both nations continue to exchange strikes, the urgent need for a ceasefire becomes ever more apparent amid rising tensions.
