Russia carried out a series of strikes on Kyiv early Tuesday, targeting residential areas and energy facilities, according to local officials and video shared online.
Mayor Vitalii Klitschko reported that a residential building in the central Pechersk neighborhood and another in the eastern Dniprovskyi district suffered serious damage.
Footage posted on Telegram showed a major blaze engulfing several floors of a nine-story building in Dniprovskyi. At least four people were injured, said Tymor Tkachenko, head of Kyiv’s city administration.
Ukraine’s energy ministry confirmed that energy infrastructure was struck but did not provide details on the type of facilities hit or the scale of the damage.
The attack came shortly after U.S. and Ukrainian representatives met in Geneva on Sunday to discuss a peace proposal mediated by the United States and Russia.
Oleksandr Bevz, a member of Ukraine’s delegation, told The Associated Press on Monday that the discussions were “very constructive” and that most issues had been addressed.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Monday that Russia had not yet reviewed the revised plan.
