The State Emergency Service of Ukraine confirmed the resumption of hostilities late Monday, reporting that Russian drones had targeted the Boryspil and Fastiv districts. In response to the renewed activity, the Kyiv city military administration issued an air raid alert, warning residents of the ongoing threat and urging the public to seek safety in designated shelters.
Diplomatic Mission and Resumption of Hostilities
The three-day cessation of strikes was initiated during the visit of President Donald Trump’s envoys, who held discussions in both Moscow and Kyiv. While the pause was intended to facilitate these diplomatic efforts, Russian state news agency TASS confirmed that the period of inactivity had officially expired, leading to the immediate return of aerial operations in the region.
Following the meetings, Steve Witkoff indicated that progress had been made during the discussions held with both Russian and Ukrainian officials. These talks have raised the possibility of reviving three-way peace negotiations aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict. Despite the diplomatic outreach, the return of drone activity underscores the volatility of the situation on the ground as the parties navigate these preliminary discussions.
